~April got started off with Easter. My family and I went to Easter service then came home and had an early dinner with my grandparents.
~My mom and I went book shopping a couple times throughout the month and I found lots of fun books, including some Guidepost mysteries!
~I was in a reading slump for most of the month which was sad, but I think I'm almost out of it and ready to read a bunch in May!
~The book club was on April 13 and the book we were discussing was The Voyage on the Great Titanic. It was super cool because the day of the book club was the same day that 106 years ago the Titanic was sailing across the ocean.
~My aunt and uncle shared this quote with my dad who then shared it with me.
~My aunt and uncle (not the same ones as mentioned above) came out to visit for a few days. They came out because my uncle was going to play a song with my brother and I for my brother, Jonathan's senior recital. We had lots of fun visiting with them. One night my uncle, on the guitar, and me, on the violin, played around. My favorite songs that we played together was Stinky's Blues and Green, Green, Grass.
~Jonathan's senior recital went well and I played two songs with him and my uncle. It was a lot of fun. Usually whenever I play in a recital I get so nervous and I don't do that well. This time though I felt really good about how I played.
~I went to see I Can Only Imagine again, but this time I went with two of my friends.
I finished watching When Calls the Heart season 5. It was a roller coaster of emotions, but I do look forward to seeing where season 6 goes next year.
My brothers and I are still watching (and enjoying!) Full House. We are almost done with the whole series.
Since I was in that reading slump, I really didn't read much at all. Most of the books I read were books for a much younger audience, but oh well. ;) The books I read were:
The Voyage on the Great Titanic by Ellen Emerson White
It’s a Twin Thing by Judy Katschke
The Case of the Great Elephant Escape by June Doolittle
Love Finds You in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts by Melody Carlson
The Case of the Surfing Secret by Cathy East Dubowski
What have you been up to lately?
Any fun plans for May? Some really fun things are happening in my life in May. You'll get to hear all about it in my May Highlight post! ;D
Book shopping is so much fun!! :D Aww, hope you get out of your reading slump soon. That's the worst. <3
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love that quote! :D
I'm so glad that the recital went well! I'm sure y'all did fabulous. <3
Yes, When Calls the Heart took quite the toll on this Heartie's emotions last month. (And I totally forgot that in my post...whoops...) I'm really going to have to watch Full House sometime!
Lots of fun plans for May on my side of things too!! ;)
Yes, it really is! It definitely hasn’t been fun, but I’m really starting to feel like reading again! :D
DeleteHehe, I thought it was great. ;)
Thanks. The songs I played went way better then I thought they would. :) It was really fun.
Yes, it most certainly did…. (Hehe, whoops! ;)) Yeah, you should give it a try.
Yay!! I can't wait for what May will bring for the both of us. <3
Sounds like you had a great April! I thought it went by really fast too!!!
ReplyDeleteHow was Love Finds You in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts?? I've seen it before but never gotten around to renting it from the library.

I did have a fun month. I know, it just flew by!
Delete“Love Finds You in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts” was pretty good. It wasn’t my favorite Love Finds You book, but it wasn’t too bad. ;)
My family recently started watching "Full House" for second time. Its funny as always. Your right April did fly by. -Jose
ReplyDeleteOh fun! My brothers and I are almost done watching the whole series for the first time. :)
DeleteGreat post! I'm thinking of skipping doing an April Wrap Up post, i have literally no time!! I'll do a May one for sure.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! When Calls The Heart was so tragic! I'm still in shock, most likely the reason for my reading slump, lol!
Book Shopping is my favorite! I don't do it much but its so nice!
Thanks! That sounds like a good plan, sometime the time just gets away from us. ;)
DeleteI know right! I’m still a bit in shock from When Calls the Heart too. Oh, that’s too bad that you’re in a reading slump. I’m almost out of mine.
Book shopping is so much fun!
Great post! I love Full House and When Calls The Heart. Yes, they really whent through an awful rollercoaster last month with Jack laeveing the show now they have him killed off and Elizabeth is expecting. It is just awful.😓 But I will be looking forward to a season six.😄
ReplyDeleteI know, When Calls the Heart had a lot of different things happen in season 5! Definitely the emotional rollercoaster, but yes, it will be fun seeing what happens next season. :)
