St. Patricks Day


The leprechaun came to visit us for St. Patti's day! He made such a mess! He flipped over pillows pulled out all the toilet paper stuck the stool in the sink, and so much more! He even played in the toilet and made the water green! That crazy leprechaun. To make up for it, he left notes and "gold" around the house. He even left Luke a nice big prize for all the trouble he caused. We spent the day wearing green clothes and chasing that tricky leprechaun! We had a lot of fun. I know I am nuts, but we used to do it in my classroom when I taught and I thought Luke would appreciate it this year. He sure did, he got into it and we chased that leprechaun all over. Too bad he blamed everything on him ("that leprechaun must have left all my toys out") ha ha. This is such a fun age! (That picture is him finding a note among the strewn pillows, and checking out the green in the toilet)

What a cute idea!! See I told you that you were Super Mommy! ha!

Here goes....

Ok, so I have been viewing all of the blogs of my friends and others and thought they were adorable! I decided I would take a crack at it for myself. I am not so sure how to do this, so I am just going to do it. I really enjoy sharing fun things about my family with others, and I love reading about their adventures too. My family is my number one priority these days, so I just thought I would share some of what goes on with us. We are so blessed to have two beautiful children, and a happy home.
With the beginning of this new year we have Luke at school two days a week, at St. Laurence Catholic church. He loves going, and enjoys playing with his friends there (mommy enjoys the time off too). Luke also has soccer practice once a week and games on Saturday mornings. This is hilarious! Luke loves soccer, just not the games. He is doing great though, and we love going.
Jay is well into his "civilian" job, and loves it. He is really doing wonderful, which is why he works a lot! The traveling is crazy, with places like Dubai, Aberdeen, and Singapore, but it is a heck of a lot better than year long deployments! We are very proud of him, and I am grateful to be allowed to stay at home with the kiddos.
Ella is fabulous! She is getting so big, which I am in denial of because I keep buying her clothes to small (we went to the zoo when she was 8months old and I bought her a 6month size tshirt). I guess I am just not ready to have two big kids. She is crawling all over the place, and loves standing. When she stands up, she is so happy until she realizes she doesn't know how to get down. Check out her new stand up toy! On a side note, you will never catch Ella with out a bow on top. I took her out at St. Patricks day when she was only a few months old, and she was called a boy. I vowed it would never happen again, so she has been a "bowhead" ever since.
Well, I have babbled enough for the first one of these. Let's see how long until I actually do another. :)
