HAPPY ST. PAT'S DAY!


A Leprechaun Was HERE!!!!!

When Amelia and I woke up from our afternoon nap, this is what we found...


The house has been ransacked by a leprechaun!!!!

Everything was everywhere! Chairs on top of tables, toys sprawled out on the couches, Mommy and Daddy's pillows thrown on the floor, our blue chair tipped over out on the deck, the kitchen turned upside down and all of the outside toys that the "Z Family" helped us put away earlier dumped all over the entire backyard!!!! What a stinker that itty-bitty leprechaun was!!! Mommy said he must have been looking for gold all throughout the house inside and out!


I wanted to start helping Mommy clean up this mess, but when I lifted up a jacket from the floor, a green shamrock was hiding there! The leprechaun must have left it behind, I wonder if there are more? Amelia was on the phone leaving a message with Daddy to inform him what was happening here at home.



While we were starting to clean up the yard (again) our neighbors Jeromy and Addy stopped by to visit, they too were shocked by what was going on. Then, our dinner guests, April, Brooke and Baby Cody trotted on over just in time to see our mess. They were so kind by lending a hand in the clean up. Thanks neighbors!


Sure enough, while we were flipping things back over and putting things back in their proper places, we found many shamrocks!
What a crazy evening we have had!

Swinging, Bubble Blowing and Kite Eating?



Today, we had the lovely "Z Family" over for a nice playdate. This was our second day in a row of warm, spring-like air. Ahhhhh!
Look at us little kiddos pushing the big kiddos!
Heather found this clever lunch idea that Mommy thought would be a fun for us to share with our friends. It was kite sandwiches. Well, they for some reason did not go over very well, maybe it was because this was our first time eating outside in a very, very long time and it was just too nice outside to sit down and eat. Oh, well... at least they looked pretty cool!

BUBBLES!!!



Thanks for hanging out with us on this beautiful, St. Patty's Day!
