April Fools! Her Birthday

So it's April Fools! and My friend April's birthday. She's having her birthday part tomorrow because we don't have to go to school due to the gr.10 literacy test :P lucky us! I'll add more to that later.

Have any of you went on Youtube today? Every video that is shown on the Home Page links to the video, but everything on the page is upside down! it's so odd! I decided to take a screen shot of this for funny memories lol.

So other than the big blurb i have above, this will be a picture blog of April's birthday party :P it was awesome! It started with LOTS and LOTS of food! yummy.
Lindsay came to April's first, a few hours earlier than when the actual party is suppose to start. So out of boredom, They made cupcakes! 6 big ones and a lot more small ones :) Then when everyone arrived and was no longer hungry we made pretty icing to eat with the cupcakes!

Here's what mine looks like!

And here's Grace's

After we made all the colorful pretty cupcakes, everyone but me ate them. i wanted to take some cute artistic pictures before i ate mine.

The colors were so cute! (yea i need better adjectives)

Some people had to leave early, and some people wasn't able to come on time, so we watched a movie while waiting. It was P.S. I Love You. It's one of the saddest movie i ever saw! I'm such an emotional person, through out the movie i cried more than 5 times! Me an Natalie couldn't stop ourselves. We were using up all April's tissues.

So when it came time with we couldn't resist seeing what April got for her birthday, we made her open the presents. i got her a shirt that says "All That". lol it was a XS so i hope it fits her. She also got many cards, interesting cards. I was too excited to take pictures so i filmed everything down! i'll add some kind of edited video of this day when i upload it on to Youtube!

We then decided since the presents were done, we should have some cake.

Afterwards everyone felt fat. We were over fed by April! :P

Lindsay nearly passed out due to the sugar rush!

Not long afterwards the guys decided to drop by and say hi.

They planned on having a photo shoot with me before the party but i woke up too late and made them wait 45min. they gave up and left afterwards. they called many times but my mom didn't let them in and didn't wake me up! I'm not blaming her though, it's my fault.

We took many pictures, trying to find the right poses and expressions for April's card.

April thought they came over here to crash the party or something, so she got super mad at the guys and screamed at them. The other girls had no idea we were doing this for April's birthday card, so they threw peppers and other left overs from our fruits and vegi plates. That made the boys run, trying to dodge those bombading vegetables. After the girls came back in, i whispered to them what i was doing with the guys, and expained why they were here. The girls felt bad, and tryed to calm April.

The party went on, as if nothing had happened. I could still tell though, April was mad and suspicious of what i was doing out there for so long. I knew i couldn't hide the secret much longer, but i had to for the guys, it wasn't mine to tell.

The girls all shared embarassing and shocking stories, including me. I wont write anything more related to that because we all swore that whate was said in that room, stays in that room. After the story telling time, the doorbell rang once again. It was the guys. they stopped by to give April this.
It was so wonderful, sweet, and cute. In a way, it was romantic too. I cried once again, this being my 5th or 6th time crying at her party. Patrick, the shortest out of the boys was the one who gave the flowers to April. The sadest part was that April said "i'm not one for flowers" to them. I felt so bad for the guys! afterall, i did cause this. There was a yellow stain on Fred's shirt. one of the girls asked him what it was from, and he said "i was blocking the wind for the flowers". That was sooooooo sweet! i just couldn't hold my tears back. April asked the guys to come in, since it was getting colder and the daylight was slipping away.

We didn't stay long, the girls were trying to find a way to help April forgive the guys. We decided to go to the park, near April's house. We thought maybe if we leave April and the guys can talk it over in the house, but no, April got her coat and left the house with us. Of course, the guys followed, Lindsay joked "They can be our bodyguards!". They followed us, a few meters behind. i was one of the slower walking people whispering to my friend Kirsty about something important to her social life. Simultaneously, the guys were whispering too, except they were much louder. I herd them saying something about "No! you go up to her and tell her!" i assumed they were trying to argue up some courage to talk to April.

April jumped out of nowhere and yelled "What are you guys talking about?!" That gave me a bit of surprise. April thought i was talking to Kirsty about the guys and what i was doing out there. Too bad we really weren't, but April wouldn't give up trying to figure out why. After a few rides on the tire swing and slides, we headed back.
Inside, the guys sat down while the girls decided to make some crapes. April got a crape maker from her parents for her birthday. It was quite and unusual gift for a 17 year old girl, but then again, it's April. She loves cooking and she thinks about doing her homework every second of the day. this kind of present is something she loves! she was so excited about it too. but to her surprise, crapes are actually kind of hard to make. They requires fast handling before the batter sets. It was so stereotypical, the girls busy cooking the the kitchen, and the guys sitting on the couch watching TV.

We Also had a chocolate egg hunt in the main floor of the house. The special part about this classic event is, we had to do it in the dark. It was pitch dark and no one was able to see. the girls was feeling around the floors, furniture, and curtains. The guys cheated. They illuminated their search area with their cell phones, i Pod Touch, and other small electronic light sources. I wasn't about to let them win, so i took out my camera and used it to help me. It was only for a few seconds though, because i realized the area i was searching had been swept clean by the guys. So i gave up, and sat down on the couch. I had to find some sort of enjoyment while everyone else was fumbling in the dark, so i reached my hand out and touched who ever went by. it was really funny! people screamed and everything.

After the egg hunt we ate the crapes the gals made. All the girls were already pretty much full. We had many chocolate eggs and other junk food. The guys finished all the left over fruits and vegetables that weren't used to throw at them earlier. It was already 9PM. All that left was cleaning up. Lucky for us, Fred had a job washing dishes at the Mandarin. So he was washing, while Justin cleaned and dried. Patrick was walking around picking up random stuff, he didn't do much. Then again, neither did i. I was avoiding work while the boys washed and the girls tidied. So me and Kirsty chatted some more about what we should do for her before April interrupted us during our walk back from the park.
It was 9:30PM when everyone left, one by one. I planned on leaving with Patrick and Kirsty since we live the closest to each other. We were going to walk for half an hour home. My mom comes home at 12 at night, so i couldn't get a ride. Kirsty's mom was already probably sleeping, and Patrick's parents probably don't even care about him :P

That's basicly all that has happened on that day. In the next entry i'll be uploading some funny pictures that will be on the birthday card i made April for the guys.

Just a sneak peak!
