Happy St. Patrick's Day

We had a great St. Patrick's Day.

The weather was perfect today.

The kids were all decked out in their green, making sure to not be pinched. Will even wore his green shamrock boxers - I hope he didn't show those to anyone at school today! I got pinched because I am lacking in the green maternity clothes department. Nothing I have that is green fits over my ever expanding belly.

At their school, the leprechaun left golden rocks out on the playground. After school, we walked back to the school to make sure none of the gold had been missed. It was all gone.

While Max and I were out running errands today, the leprechaun apparently left gold coins all over the boys' bedrooms.

Will was a little suspicious - I think my days of surprises are numbered for him. He is starting to figure things out.

For dinner we had potatoes, corned beef and rainbow jello and for dessert, we had shamrock shakes!

Thanks to Kami for all the fun ideas!

Will and Max have been sick lately. Apparently it's going around.

Colds and fevers = no fun!

On Saturday, Will was complaining that his ears were bothering him, so I took him to Instacare, and sure enough, he had an ear infection. Thank goodness for antibiotics! Will is doing much better, but Max is still sick. He's taken naps these past few days, which is so unlike him. He stopped napping during Christmas break. I can't decide if I miss them or not. It's kind of nice to not have to be home for naps!

Yesterday we took advantage of the weather and flew Max's new Buzz Lightyear kite. Mark bought it for Max a few days ago. It basically flies itself because you blow it up with air.

I love this picture of Max. He loves being outside!

I especially love it because you can't see both of his nostrils, one is filled with SNOT!

Spring time is my favorite time!
