Leprechauns and Little girls!!!
Full of magic and trickery, the leprechauns remain in their hidden world until the night before St. Patrick's day... so our last nights craft was our treasure box!! I think it turned out pretty cute and will be my new March decoration!! The girls of coarse were just excited to find the treasure the next morning. Those tricky leprechauns left gold ( Rolo's- note to self, next year get the individually wrapped ones) and fun green shamrock straws. I also got real into the holiday and made green shamrock waffles and the straws went well with the yummy breakfast! 
Happy St. Patrick's day!!!
Happy St. Patrick's day!!!

I know I was getting just as sick of looking at my self pity (Even though I do not need to look at my blog to remember it) But I have decided that I have been doing things in the midst of everything and thought I would share!!
And so since I am already totally overwhelmed I thought I better just start with last week and hopefully be able to "keep up" again! So besides my grandpa going in the hospital, still slowly unpacking boxes trying to find the toy of the day (yes I have been in my house for a month), Wacey trying to collect some of our money and going to Oregon, and me working... It was Dr. Suess's Birthday!!!
We went to the Library and got all the books we needed and read them throughout the week, and then of coarse we had a Dr. Suess party!! We made cupcakes, With yellow frosting and some had green stars... for the Sneetches. Addey liked the ones without the stars and Reece liked the ones with the stars, so it just added to the lesson that we should " forget about stars, and whether they had one, or not, upon thars" !! We also had Green Eggs and Ham for dinner and then of coarse ate our cupcakes again, then watched Horton Hears a Who!! I do not think Addey or Reece really got the concept of reading the Dr. Suess's books and why we then celebrated a birthday of a guy we did not even know, but I think they really enjoyed all the events of the week and I think we will try to make it a tradition and do it every year!!
Thanks Dr. Suess for writing great books and eventually , I know my girls will know who you are!
