March

I showed the kids how to make tunnels with the couch pillows. 

We bought Fruit Loops to make rainbow necklaces and rainbow art for St. Patrick's Day. Big Sis thoroughly enjoyed eating them more than the crafts.

I had a birthday and felt very loved. 

Thank you family and friends for singing to me, texting me, and making my day fabulous!

This year's birthday creation: Brownies with 1/2 bag of Ande's Mint Chips mixed in, and the other half sprinkled on top as soon as it came out of the oven. 

And these are from today! Every year I make a book that includes a picture of each member of our extended family so my kids will know who their aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents are. It always includes our family too, and so we needed some pictures for our book! Now I just have to decide which one to pick for each kid....they all turned out pretty cute.

And can you believe this little boy will be 11 months old this week? 

Bean Bean has the squinty eye problem that I have...

St. Patrick's Day Weekend and 34 Weeks

Both girls have been really into our white board this weekend.

Handsome and Aunt D took the girls to the local Fest of Tails (kite and dog festival). The girls got to make their own little kites and see lots of cool kites fly. And Big Sis really liked seeing a dog dressed in a purple dress.

We all wore a bit of green on Sunday, because it's so much fun to wear green!

And of course we did some dancing...with mittens on.

Big Sis was drawing cricket bones.

Right: 34.6 weeks with Baby Beluga

My birthday was fabulous. 

I woke up to a rainbow.

 

It led me to a pot o' gold.

I got to eat yummy green pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, and oj for breakfast. 

And we had some good laughs watching a remembering a few funny you tube videos that were big in college (like the Worst Music Video Ever).

The BEST part of my birthday--Handsome took the day off and got to stay home with us ALL day!! 

We ate Chinese take-out at the park, and it was a glorious sunny day!

Trying to keep Baby Beluga awake on the drive home.

We ate yummy mint brownies with crushed mint Oreos on top, and had mint cookies and cream ice cream. Very minty, very green, very delish.

I even got to wear a birthday crown for half the day (the other half, Big Sis was wearing it).

Thanks for all the birthday greetings and well wishing. 

It truly was a wonderful day!
