St. Patty's Day

When it comes to St. Patrick's Day I'm not a huge fan. Of course I like to dress my kids in green but other than that I don't do much. I don't have any green decorations. I actually find most St. Patty Day decor tacky. I just don't care for it. In the past I have never done anything out of the ordinary for my kids. Oh wait I take that back. We always do green pancakes but that's easy. So as the holiday is getting closer I start seeing all these people pin cute things to do for your kids on the 17th. Honestly I know I'm not going to do it so I don't pin it. It's cute and all but my kids will just have to settle on a box of lucky charms. They were as happy as can be when they saw that box of cereal.
   I did tell the kids that they could set a trap up for the leprechaun. This is what they came up with.
 
After the kids went to bed the nasty little leprechaun got past their trap and messed up our kitchen.
 
He then left a note for them to go look in the bathroom. He did his thing and didn't even bother to flush! Little rat!
 
This was one Pinterest idea I could do.
The kids are convinced they will catch him next year. We shall see. Muahhhhhhhh

A Family Ride

I have been looking forward to the day that we could all go on a family bike ride. It finally happened and it was a blast! The kids were troopers. They had a hard time coming back but they made it. I am looking forward to many more rides. Check us out. I look so awesome.

From the past

In February the kids school had a reading week. Each day was something different. One day it was "dress up from someone from the past". At first Nick and Sammy didn't want to and then of course last minute they tell they changed their mind. Typical, right? So with the help of my very creative mom we came up with the perfect outfits. Nick really wanted to be Abe Lincoln and Sammy wanted to be Pocahontas . We couldn't find an Indian dress so she was stuck wearing pants , which she wasn't happy about.i love these kind of days at school. So fun for the kids.
