Happy St. Patrick's Day

We are four days out of Springing Forward to daylight savings time but we're still having a hard time getting our bodies adjusted. To help get Jack downstairs for breakfast this morning I told him he had a surprise waiting for him from the leprechaun. That seemed to do the trick and he came down to his seat at the table to find a little pot o' gold coins! He was very excited to have more money to put into his piggy bank!


But it wasn't long before he was asking "how long until I get something else in my little pot?" We had a long talk about how the holiday's only come once a year (365 days he has to wait) before we shifted our attention to Easter and what the Easter Bunny might bring him. Of course, I had made the mistake of buying a Star Wars egg decorating kit with him present, so now I get asked everyday, "can we color eggs today?" What was I thinking!?!



Jack helped Ethan with his pot of gold, as all Ethan wanted to do was toss the pot all over the house!



We had St. Patrick's Day cards to open from Nana and Granddad, so we got them on the computer while the boys opened up their cards. They were very excited to get the cards and more gold coins to put in their banks.









Now I just have to think of something yummy for dinner that the boys will actually eat....

Hope you all have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

Master Closet Overhaul

 We have this ridiculously large walk-in closet in our master bedroom and over time it has been overtaken with STUFF. So I decided I was tired of looking at the mess and it was time to clean it out and up.  Take a look...  I can't believe it went from this... To this!  I love walking in here now and actually find myself looking for reasons to go into my closet.  Along with just weeding out old clothes and items I no longer wore or needed (you should see the pile of stuff that was donated!) I made some changes to the room too.   One of them was my shoe racks. I've long wanted a tall shoe rack to go alongside the built in shelves but I knew it would never get off my husband's to-do list so I took matters into my own hands!!  It's not exactly what I had envisioned but it works and I'm happy with it. Thanks Target for the shelves.  Over the past few years I have developed a deep love for scarves and now own several....
