April showers, make may flowers. I hope this is the case. April in The Mad House was filled full of the joys of an Easter holiday which meant a visit to the Chill Factore and also a brilliant day out with friends at FlamingoLand (review to follow).
We have made the most of the good weather to replace the raised beds in the garden and add more. We have also been testing out a Karcher Pressure washer, well I say we, but mostly MadDad has been using it to clean the car, patios and water butts!
We have also spent rather a lot of time outside on scooters, playing football and cricket and Mini helped out at GrandPa’s farm for a day too.
It seems looking back that April was full of cake, at home where we made easter nests, easter eggs and various other cakes and also at Blog Camp.
We have been practicing our magical abilities thanks to Innocent and their magic circle. If you want to join in then #innocentmagic tricks are on the back of the packets of all of the innocent Kids juices.
We received a package of shreddies with a special knitted coat by the knitting nanas!
April was also filled with crafting. I have been playing with the New Circut Explore, so have the boys. We have also been busy making cards and the pompom maker made an appearance again!
April wouldnt be complete without Easter parties, paste eggs, bonnets and fun with family, so we managed to squeeze all that in too.
In fact April has been a brilliant month. I hope yours has too.

What a busy month.
I’ve finally taken my pressure washer out of the box – whoops, but I blame the rain.
Love spending time on scooters, I’m trying to encourage Emmy to use hers more

I can’t believe how much small stuff you have managed to fit in to April – well done! I quite fancy one of those pressure washers myself, too!
I enjoyed April too although it went by in a bit of a blur. Thank goodness for blogging!
I love spring photos, so much colour and joy! We love flamingo land, brill day out!
What a wonderful fun filled month you have had.
WOW I love your photos, you have had a busy and yet creative April! I hope May brings you much delight and testing out more new fun devices for MadDad!
Sounds like a great month and if it includes cake that makes it all the better x #blogclub
I really want a marcher pressure washer – not to clean anything, just to play with lol
Certainly sounds like a busy but brilliant month! Hope May brings as much fun for you all!
Lovely idea for a linky – I’ve written my post and scheduled it for this week so I’ll be back to add it x x x
I’m trying but I can’t remember what we’ve done in April. I’ll have to go check my blog to see what we got up to!
I’ll hopefully be back to link up later in the week 🙂
