Happy St. Patrick's Day

So we've had a great day.  I don't know why I was so worried about Shawn's first day back at work.  Last night however, was not as pleasant.  While we were sleeping, Ben accidentally head butted my nose.  It's nice and bruised and swollen now.  Oh how it hurts.  Ok, enough of my complaining.

I dressed my kiddos in their green outfits for St. Patrick's Day nice and early and decided I'd better take their pictures ASAP.  We all know young children have a tendency to ruin their clothing pretty quickly especially if you are wanting to take their picture or the clothing to last all day.

Here's the kiddos decked out in their St. Patrick's Day green:





Ben colored his St. Patrick's Day coloring sheets.



 We also did a few crafts today.  The first one was a rainbow with pom poms.





We also wanted to do this craft that I saw here on Ramblings of a Crazy Woman.  Ben had other plans.  He decided that he just wanted to paint in general.  We'd never painted before and he had so much fun!





And the whole time we were painting and coloring Little Miss Sydney was sleeping in her swing.

Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather..... It appears that Spring has sprung...  Some nice spring storms and mostly warmer weather. Right now I am.... Sitting outside at the table on the front porch while the kids run and play or stop to eat their snacks.    Thinking.... Ugh Monday... Mondays always seem to be the worst days for me. On my reading pile....

Everything from my DVR since we are switching cable providers and will be losing our current DVRs on Wednesday.
