It's a GREEN thing

We had a little visitor come to our house today...


He left pieces of rainbow and green little foot prints wherever he went. At the end of the trail we found a very unconventional treasure...

- GREEN squeeze-it juice (takes me back to the day of elementary school & the smell of PB&J)

- GREEN apples

- GREEN ring POP's

- GREEN gum (a coveted favorite in this house)

- GREEN jello cups (except for Macie. Hers was orange. What am I supposed to do when there's a three pack of Jello and it's 1 orange and 2 green? Buy another one? I don't think so. This leprechaun is on a budget.)

- GREEN hershey kisses (the minty delicious kind)

The kids loved it! Hopefully they'll be able to sleep tonight with visions of little green men running around the house.

Speaking of scary things; check out the look on Macie's face. Something is terribly wrong here and I am not going to take responsibility for it.


Happy St. Patricks Day!

DId you get little stamps for that or did you just use all your artistic talents for that?? a very cute idea. I thought I was the best mother ever by makeing green itchyban, now I know better that I was kinda just lame. I better translate since I am pretty sure you Americans call it "toperomin" probably spelled it wrong, It's a Canadian thing...or maybe just a "jana thing" I tend to need the spell check with my typing skills...Anyway, sounds like a fun day!!

I couldn't think of anything fun to do, so we did nothing. Im boring. I feel like there is some big holiday every month and I am a bit tired of it. But I loved your little footprints, so I might try that next year.

Macie is sassy! So cute. I expect that will be Addie is a couple of years, or wait, right now!

Clearly, Macie is feeling the effects of the orange jello.

K, your putting all of us other mommies to shame here. But, really Jess don't feel too bad, I didn't do anything either. I completely forgot. I think I should get worst mom of the year award. haha
Maybe Macie is mad that she is the only one not wearing green. Looks like she is covering her bum from being pinched. Plus she got jipped out of the green jello. Sheesh. just kidding. :)
