monday and st. patrick's day

look at the sassy pose on eleanor! she has started rolling her eyes at me a bunch, too

so that's fun

plus, who doesn't love their living room torn up?

these girls have a lot of fun in the mornings

 i made cookies to take visiting teaching

aren't they cute?

 this is my command center for trying to keep everyone's birthday party and easter prep organized

 the kids made a leprechaun trap monday night

 so i wrote them a note and cut out a shamrock and the most important part, lucky charms

 they were pretty stoked to see it when they woke up

 hazel said she knows the leprachaun was really there because

i couldn't sew a shamrock 

and i would never buy lucky charms

rude

 cute, happy kids

 later in the day eleanor asked me to do her hair with the flat iron

then she changed her mind so i sprayed it with water and it was back to normal

it was fun while it lasted..

 it's funny to think of how big henry is after just being a big bulge in my belly last st patty's day

 in one sitting, he ate the last of a jar of applesauce, an entire banana and several cut up grapes

then we had dinner a little later

and he ate some of the leek and potato soup and part of a biscuit

big boy!

 hazel took like an hour to take a single bite of the potato leek soup i made for dinner

stinker

but at least she looked cute in the shirt i made her a year ago for this very occasion
