Play....

We have had lots of time to get out in the sun and play this week (I know I've already mentioned that a bit...). On Monday when the temps were in the mid 60s we did a little chalk action on the driveway, played with our new red ball and our trike (the red one) and bike (the pink one), but the best part was splashing in the puddles and feeling the water running down the street...it was super cold water and running pretty fast so she really liked that! A little timid at first then full-on splashing!

Irish Eyes are Sleeping...

After a busy day hunting leprechauns, my little lass is sleeping. But here are some pictures of our adventure, searching for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. There was a puppet show, a nature walk and snacks and story time. We made shamrock magic wands and leprechaun hats too. We even got to pet a frog and a turtle! (Well, by we, I mean the kids...Mommy is so over the reptile phase!) Then we came home and had MCDonalds...(see the Mc? That counts! Especially with the shamrock shake for those of you monitoring my green food fetish today! JESS!!!)

Top O' The Mornin'!

We are going on a leprechaun hunt this morning, wish us luck! We want to wish you all a happy St. Patrick's Day!

May God grant you always:
A sunbeam to warm you
A moonbeam to charm you
A sheltering Angel, so nothing can harm you.

We will have pics of our great hunt later today. May all your food be green and your pot of gold be seen today!

What a Day!

The weather is finally starting to warm up here. It was in the mid 50s yesterday with 60s in the forecast today. We had some time to go outside and play with our neighbor Brielle and then we walked up to the grocery store to get some steaks for the grill. YEAH! It's Spring!!! I'm excited for more walks to the store and Josh is going to grill again tonight.

Weekend Adventure-Part 3

After our bird adventure we make a quick pit-stop at Cabela's in Rogers. Riley LOVED the catfish. Daddy and Grandpa are now itching to get fishing! We figure it's only about 17 weeks until our big summer trip up North...but the good news is it's finally nice outside so 17 weeks might fly by faster than we think!

Weekend Adventures-Part 2

Today, Josh and I are planning a date night so we were going to be dropping Roo off at my parents anyway, but my dad had a little morning filed trip planned too. There's a place in Monticello where the swans winter near some open water and the local residents feed them. It was amazing the noise they make! There were hundreds of birds...swans, geese, ducks. For a bird nerd it was a happy place:) And do you see where I get my bird nerd/photographer gene?

Weekend Adventures-Part 1

Last night we went to diner at our friend, Vieve's house with a few of our "old school" friends. It was fun to watch all the kids play, and the guinea pigs, Snickers and Pepper, were a huge hit! Dinner was great and we had a little jammie party at the end. It was a wonderful night with great friends. Thanks!!!
