April Fool's day, new month, new theme. Inspired by Shula's rupees, April's theme is Money, also in honor of tax day on the 15th. Those more organized, or owed bigger refunds, have finished their taxes months ago, but the vast majority of the rest of us wait for the last possible minute, even to long lines at the Post Office April 14th to get the returns postmarked before midnight.
Aerin April fooled me - she rubber banded the sink sprayer on, so that when I ran water for my morning glass of water, I sprayed myself, the floor, the window and the radiator. She is pleased she got me, but bummed it occurred (long) before she woke up.
We had a lovely, sunny spring day. We almost made it out for a bike ride, but out of state friends were visiting, from Texas!, and we had to cross paths with them. We wound up meeting at Herrell's for ice cream (the best in the world, according to many) and walking back to admire the orangeness of the living room. Opinion remains strongly divided. The other occupants of the house still profess to hate it, but are saying now that if they get to help with the paint application they will like it better. Outsiders are uniformly kind. We'll see how it looks with the next coat of foolishness added. And the couch comes home this week! I had not properly appreciated how much we needed it until it was gone.
The hamster Pumpkin was getting extraordinarily fluffy, 
so we gave her a haircut and put her poor traumatized self back in her cleaned cage. We are taking the bag of shorn hamster fluff in to the teacher who is spinning with the kids. We think we'll stump her with it...
