St. Patricks Day


A very green dinner! Pesto pasta, "green" orange rolls, Salad, and cucumbers. It was good. The kids thought it was really cool to have everything green.

The leprechaun left 10 clues throughout the house leading them to a treasure full of treats, and fun little toys.



We also woke up the green milk and green toilet water. The leprechaun likes to play tricks on us.




This is actually a really gross pic. Sorry! ;) And no, that is not a turd in the toilet. It is just the food coloring that settled to the bottom of the toilet.





I get a ton of ideas for holidays off of www.familyfun.com. It's a really cool website full of free coloring printouts, recipes, craft ideas, all sorts. You should check it out. You can even sign up for them to email you. They don't send you tons of email. They just send out a email usually before holidays.

















This is one of our favorite places to go . Chambers Elementary school. How cool is this play ground! It was a fun night together as a family. These times are so special. The kids are growing so fast. I feel like we need to enjoy every second we have with them before they are older and off doing older kid things. I love being a mom!!!






One more project done and several more to go.
I've been wanting to paint the brick on this fireplace for awhile. As well as spray paint the fireplace black. It was black already but had a few rust spots. It really needed a fresh coat of paint. It looks almost new now.
The brick was really ugly, so I'm very pleased with the new look. Paint is the best! It can make such a big change to something with little cost involved. I love that!

These two spend a good portion of their day brushing their teeth. If Ashlyn is missing, I know just where to find her...in the bathroom. I wish this obsession would rub off on Dylan. He brushes twice a day, but complains about doing it. I'm sure the obsession won't last long. At least, for now, they will have shiny teeth without a fight!
