Springs Here! Let's Hop to It

So I don't know if it is just my weird pregnancy hormones kicking in or my dark sick sense of humor that I just found that made this hysterically funny this morning.  I came across a talented artist's blog S.T. Lewis who had this featured one day

My wife: Why do you always draw such horrible things?
Me: What do you mean?
My wife: He's going to eat those poor little chicks.
Me: I don't think the Easter Bunny eats chicks.
My wife: That's an alligator.
Me: Alligators don't have fluffy tails. You're crazy.
My wife: I hate talking to you.


So like usual, school is keeping J and I busy and I know we'll both  be so glad that life for school will be done sooner than later.  I am tired of assignments that are boring to do, sitting in class learning about the what ifs and what if nots of life... really I am just pregnant round and crabby!  I have been fighting some kind of nasty bug for the last week and a bit which really has taken everything out of me.  But I have been keeping my house spotless and clean usually which seems to be the highlight of my days... and J has only complained of it stinking once... which was yesterday.  We recently bought a metal trash can and it seems to be keeping the smell of the garbage even after we have taken it out... I have tried everything from wiping down that sucker with cleaners to pouring carpet fresh inside and using febreeze to spray in it before setting in a new bag which is maybe every other day.  This may sound excessive but I really hate when our apartment smells funky haha... so any tips on how to eliminate the weird odor plaguing my garbage can would be greatly appreciated :)

On another note, one of my favorite things about mr hubbins is his creative side that seems to flourish every time a holiday comes each month.  Our snowman which started at Christmas turned into a loving snowman for valentines day, and a lucky leprachaun for St. Patrick's day.  You'll all be please to know that we have now moved on to decorate our door for easter.  Needless to say it became another fun project that filled two days that J and I had together.  We made a chick popping out of an egg using cotton balls, glue, teflon paper, and feathers.  Needless to say when we couldn't find feathers in a bag we bought 3 feather boas and I plucked them off of there... so we had feathers everywhere that I am still vacuuming up... but all the fun of seeing our door is worth it!  We were told by our cleaning lady one day last week the big head of boardwalk was here to do an inspection.  I guess he was so impressed with our door that he took a picture of it and was talking about it with some of the other site managers!

So I love that mr hubbins has creative genius juices working all the time that not only brighten our days but the days of others as well.  He is going to be such a fun dad for our kids I am super excited for the fun they will have!  After we had finished attaching our baby chick to our door we walked back into our apartment that is so lovingly decorated for Easter and were both just looking around and kind of standing around trying to gather up the last bit of energy we had to tidy up before falling into bed.  Before I had a chance to move, J looked around, looked at me and kind of laughed.  "You know" he said, "if someone entered our apartment they would think that you are an elementary teacher who lives alone that really loves her job!"  And I had to laugh and admit he was right... our apartment is covered in beautiful easter colors and decorations that were both mine and mr hubbins doing but it certainly looks like an elementary classroom.  I love how fun J gets during the special days that come during the year and that he is so patient to think of activities to do with me and then carry them out.  Here's to a happy spring right around the corner and the sunshine and warmth that has been teasing us this winter!

I will add pictures of our door later... our chick was so big we were having a hard time taking a picture on the phone so we have to bust out the camera :)
