Does April seem ridiculous to you?
It does to me.
Seriously.
Ridiculous.
It was always a crazy month growing up since all four of my family members {and our dog, at one point} had their birthdays smooshed into those 30 days of almost-spring.
And, now that I am married, we also have added four Murri members to that list.
Eight birthdays.
It is a good thing I like cake.
A lot.
So, here is the run-down.
The happiest birthdays {in order} to:
-My momsie AND little brother {who share the same birthday...which also happens to be April Fools Day...does that mean Bryan was adopted? We are still waiting for the verdict on that ;) }
-Jason, who got to celebrate with a new wifey, which is the best thing ever!
-My sweet hubster, who got to celebrate with a not-so-new wifey who is getting pregnant-fat and ate all of his cake by herself.
-Coya, who got to escape this crazy house {from a super fun Easter visit} just in time to celebrate hers.
-Mike, the raddest Father-in-Law ever! Guys. He WON
Murri Maddness this year!
{Sidenote #1: I managed to come in 5th out of 30...and Tyrel? Oh. 12th. That's right. 3 years and running of whipping my husband in his own game.}
-Lyle, who gets a fancy new executive job for his birthday present {and has AT LAST quit JCPenney for good...of all of us siblings, he held out the longest at that darn place}
-And last but certainly not least, my sweet daddy, who will get lots of Kemry kisses on his birthday later this month.
Phew.
There.
I did it.
We love you all!

On a more lame note, we had a nice teaser of spring {where our two-and-a-half feet of snow engulfing our yard COMPLETELY melted}, just in time for Wanda to come through.
But she is way wimpier than they planned, which I am so fine with.
Two inches so far?
It beats
MY birthday snowfall {do you like how I tied that all in? You do, don't you?}.
{She did bring some thunder-snow for Tyrel, however, which was a weird first for him}.
It is enough, however, to make our cabin fever burst through the roof.
Poor Kemry has been so bored.
I think she has put all of her toys in time-out about five times each today.
{Sidenote #2, I hope I don't sound as snarky as she does when I put her in time-out...
but she sure sounds sweet when she puts them to bed and says "Sweet dreams!!", so I guess it is a trade-off...}
And, now, as she is in her room for nap-time, she is banging on her xylophone singing "Jingle Bells" as loud as she can.
But spring is coming.
I can feel it.
I can't wait to plant my garden, rip up my flowerbeds, and get awkward sunburns from sitting at the park in our winter-white skin.
But, until then, here are a few pictures of Kemry frantically running to each window in her room telling the snow that it is naughty.
We taught her well.
