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.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
