75 and Sunny?!
Today is going to be gorgeous! And tomorrow and Saturday are supposed to be even nicer. I can't wait for the warm weather to stay for good.
I found out that H and I might be going on vacation a week sooner than we thought, which means it's only 18 days away. Crazy! I just hope it works out so we can go and relax somewhere. The past 6 months have been incredibly stressful. Thank you everyone for the vacation recommendations! I think we're going with Jamaica, we're just not sure which resort yet.
I hope everyone has a great Easter/Passover and gets outside to enjoy this gorgeous weather!
Re: 75 and Sunny?!
I'm so jealous of your vacation!!! I hope it all works out and you get to go.
I can't believe how warm it's suppose to be this weekend, I'm so excited but I'm hoping it stays this way and doesn't go back into the 40's again
So in honor of it being April fools day, does anyone have any stories of jokes played on them?
The biggest one done to me was a 2 week long joke
The family I use to nanny for had 5 kids (1 yr old triplets, 2 others). Sometime that March the Mom was pretending to be sick and what not and then while I was babysitting she told me that her Dr would be calling and to take a message. Well I get the call and it's her Dr and I tell him she's not home and he tells me to just tell her "that he was right it's more then 1 again" I took that to mean the only thing it could and just told her the Dr called, I was a nervous wreck. Well the next they tell me she's pregnant with multiples again. The following weekend they invited my parents over for dinner and while there they ask me if I would move in with them , they start showing me how they would redo their basment for me and what not (my parents were in on it). At this point I'm having a heart attack and I just keep saying that I need to think about it (I was with these kids 5 days a week for 12 hrs and some weekends) Well we go upstairs and there is a huge "April Fools Day" cake on the table 
My poor sister was so confused b/c she had no clue what was going on and just kept saying "wait is she not pregnant" I myself started getting suspicious when my Mom was all for the idea, I was 18 at the time and there is no way my parents would be ok with that. I started laughing but out of relief b/c there was no way in hell I was moving in with them 
I wasn't able to fall asleep last night until after 1 AM. The clock still went off at 5:45 though. I'm exhausted
Izzy you sparked the vacation bug in me. I'm trying to convince the H that we should go somewhere in late Oct. early Nov.. He's starting to come around to it too. Just an FYI for Jamaica - Do not leave the resort at all unless it's in a big group and a registered tour. Jamaica is known for the locals putting pot in your pocket and then demanding you pay with everything you have. Just be careful.
I'm thinking we're going to spend seven nights in Riviera Maya, Mexico again. I found a fabulous deal on a suite with a plunge pool at a Dreams resort.
We weren't really planning on leaving the resort...especially after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor. By going a week earlier, we're going to save at least $200 on airfare. Fine with me!
No one's ever pulled a prank on me for April Fools. I'm a sneak and figure things out too quickly.
I'm jealous of the vaca plans! I hope you have a blast, though.
We just used to freak my dad out every single April Fools with some big bug in the bathroom gag. Thought it was hysterical as a kid.
We officially put in the order for our nursery furniture last night!! We were waiting to see a new color the company was offering and it finally came into our store last night. It's totally not the color we were expecting but matches our bedding perfectly!

I'm all for warm weather, but I'm not ready for HOT... 80 degrees is pushing it. I want to have an actual Spring this year.
Today is my H's birthday so you can imagine all the April Fool's jokes that were played on him as a kid.
I don't think too many have been played on me.. I'm usually the prankster. My co-worker and I are still scheming about what we're going to do to another co-worker of ours
I'm so excited for this beautiful weather! I remember last Easter I had the cutest little outfit for Taylor and it was so chilly I had to put a sweater and thick tights on her
This year we shouldn't have to do that! I'm also happy to be able to open the windows in the house and let fresh air in. We've had such a winter of sickness and I'm so ready to air everything out! As far as for this weekend, I'm going to try to convince my husband to take the day off tomorrow so we can do some fun stuff with taylor. Saturday we are going over to my brother and sister in law's to dye easter eggs with all the kids and sunday we have a busy day of going over to my parents for brunch and then to the inlaws for dinner.
Lilylow~I've been thinking of maybe suprising the hubby for his 40th bday this year with a trip to riviera maya(where we honeymooned) would you mind sharing what kind of deal you found? Thanks!
Sure just email me at growingupanjwife [at] gmail [dot] com
Kat - love the nursery theme. Can't wait to see it all put together.
Izzy - so jealous of your vacation! We were supposed to go to Jamaica last Feb, but cancelled once we decided to get pregnant. We were going to stay at Xtabi resort in Negril.
Today is my Friday. I'm so excited for the weekend! We're starting the car-buying research Saturday. Going to test drive at Turnersville Auto Mall. Hopefully we can narrow down our choice that way we can shop for a deal come June.
so excititng that your vaca is coming so soon! i cannot wait to get out this afternoon and let h run around at the park! im so happy that the sun is shining!
Lilylow~You've got mail~thanks!
