St. Patrick's Day 2010

Due to a baseball game tonight the Leprechaun chose to leave treats by the kids' beds since they won't be able to search tonight. They found them in the morning and then enjoyed a breakfast of Lucky Charms.

The kids made up this song after each was given a squash by a man at the pumpkin patch.

James was a little scared about taking the big leap

Carter getting some air.
It's hard to pick the perfect pumpkin.


James loved this Grim Reaper. He was thrilled when he saw it since that is what he was dressing up for on Halloween.

James' birthday

James turned 4 last week.   Much to our delight he doesn't insist that he is 5 anymore. 

More lost teeth

Lindsey's 2nd top tooth came out last weekend.  It wasn't quite ready but Matthew and the kids were wrestling and Carter's heel connected with Lindsey's mouth. 

Lindsey's birthday party

Lindsey's cooking party was a success.   The kids made their own pizza and  lemonade. The made cupcakes to take  home and decorated the cake.     

Lindsey is 7!!!

Lindsey's last day as a 6 year old.

Lindsey is very excited about turning 7 tomorrow.  This morning she asked me to take a picture of her on her last day as a 6 year old.   

St. Patrick's Day

We take St. Patrick's Day seriously in our house. 

The kids had breakfast in green bowls this morning and had new green shirts to wear to school.  When Matthew got home it was time to search for the treats left by the Leprechauns.  For dinner we had the traditional St. Patrick's Day meal of green pancakes with homemade green whipped cream.
