The end of this month snuck up on me! April has seen the return of baseball season and the triple-booked evenings. The only comfort is that our normally double-booked evenings have helped us establish the habit of eating dinner around 5:30, so now we don't have to adjust to that.

TV
Breaking Bad. It is over. And I feel like I'm mourning. This was the first series that I've ever watched through from beginning to end. I'm glad we spread it over three months. It gave me something to look forward to every evening, and I feel like I had enough time to digest each episode.
What's up next? We have two seasons of Homeland on DVD and the first season of House of Cards on DVD. The DVR is also filling up with episodes of Fargo. Now we just have to wait for some free evenings.
Music
I started listening to WXPN radio recently. I have decided that on the whole it has a pretty good mix of tunes. The kids hate it, but it is nice to take a break from the top 40 stuff.

Painting! We are re-painting the kids' bedrooms. One down, two to go. I do not enjoy living with all of the mess that comes along with moving furniture out of the way in order to paint.
Reading
I find myself in the middle of a self-designed poetry unit! Thanks in part to one of Anne's guest posts and my pastor's Easter sermon, I have borrowed most of the library's books by Billy Collins. I am having fun.
So there is April in a nutshell. May promises more of the same!

Breaking Bad was really the first show you've watched from beginning to end in your whole life?! This mystifies me. Or maybe it means I've watched too much television.
Hope you enjoy your self-designed poetry unit. One of my favorites is The House of Belonging by David Whyte, if you feel like adding to your curriculum.
