Leprechauns Visit

Did you know that we are visited by little green men, called Leprechaun's on St. Patrick's Day? 

Ella stayed busy on Sunday making a trap for the Leprechaun that will visit our house.  She made a gold doubloon to put into the trap as well as some green Lucky Charms in hopes to lure the little green man into the trap. 

It didn't work though :(   Instead he made a mess, ate some Lucky Charms...

and left her some chocolate gold covered coins.  She was sooo excited!

Since it was raining, Clint drove the car down to the bus stop that morning. As they were waiting, Ella jerked her head really quick.
Dad:  Ella, what is it?
Ella:  I think I saw something.
Dad:  Well, what was it?
Ella:  I think I saw the leprechaun running really fast.

Love her!   When she got home from school this afternoon, she worked diligently on a "play ground" for the leprechaun, because he will visit again.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Parks and Princesses

It was a typical Saturday morning.  Mary Catherine had gymnastics.  Ella had a soccer game.  One big difference...it was a beautiful day.  So, after lunch, we decided to forgo naps and head to the park.  We stayed for like 3 hours.  The kids had a blast.  It was nice to just be outside!

 

Once we got home, Nate and Heather texted and told us that Elsa and Ana were going to be at Chick-fil-A.  So, I packed the kids up and we took off.  There were SOOOO many people there, it was UNBELIEVABLE!  The kids patiently waited in line for 1 1/2 hours.  Yes.  One and a half hours.  They got to say hello and get there picture made with the ice princesses.  It was worth the wait. 

Where is Wesley?  He waited with us.  Never complained.  But when it was time for pictures, he wouldn't let go of my leg.  He didn't want any part of having his picture made with all 4 princesses.
