I really did try to narrow down these photos, but we had such a fabulous weekend, it was so hard! We sent the girls to daycare on Friday, and I worked a half day. DJ was off, as the start of his Spring Break. I was suppose to have a dentist appointment that afternoon, but I cancelled it, because I wasn't feeling well. I came home and slept 3 hours and had DJ go get the girls. I then slept another hour while they were eating dinner! Thankfully, I felt better Saturday morning for our St. Patrick's day fun!
We made a trap to catch a leprechaun. G made a 4-leaf clover to 'trick' him and we put a pot of 'gold' (popcorn) to help lure him to the trap!
Then, we went outside and enjoyed the sunshine while DJ used his new smoker to smoke brisket!
We took MC outside, because she had been feeling better (although, she now has another cold.)
I think she was happy to enjoy some sunshine and get some natural Vitamin D.
G just played and played. The neighbor behind our house came over, and she played with their 20 month old, and then she explored our wide open back yards. She said she was "queen of the mountain."
And, she played with Bailey.
The girls flew around in the air.
G ran over and had to have her turn.
Then, we got out her trike, while MC took a nap. She rode it about two houses down, decided she was done, and drug it back to the house.
When she's riding and she feels like she's done, she always expects that one of us will take it back for her, but I always tell her that she wanted it, so she has to take care of her toys and put them back where they belong.
Then, we went inside to check on our leprechaun trap.
She was really excited, but then I think G became really scared to think there would be a real leprechaun in there.
But, we didn't catch him! He left goodies for the girls instead. G got a green slinky, a princess cup and "gold" candy (caramel hershey kisses). We let her open one, and it was so cute, because she kissed it before she ate it. She told us that you had to kiss it, since it was called a hershey kiss.
MC received a cup and green puffs.
We had our neighbors over to eat, and MC was screaming during dinner, so I didn't get any pictures. But, we had fruit salad, mac-n-cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, and brisket.
I typically don't like brisket, but it was mouth watering. G even asked for seconds!
After dinner was cleaned up, I put MC to bed and we went outside to start a fire in the fire pit and make smores!
DJ helped G roast her marshmallows.
And of course the neighbor kids joined in with us!
G loved her smores and after we each had one, we ate burnt marshmallows!
On Sunday, we got up and went to church. We almost didn't go, because MC was running a slight fever and was fussing. I decided that we would take her with us into the service since she didn't feel good, especially because the last time we visited that church, she cried the entire time she was in the nursery! MC loves her momma for sure!
G did great in her class, and MC did very well in the service. I was so thankful that this church actually allows kids under 5 in their service. We have actually visited two churches here, that do not allow or prefer kids under 5 in the sanctuary, and I just think that's a shame.
It was warm, so we broke out one of her spring dresses, and i'm glad she was able to still wear it, since it's a 6 month size.
G wore a dress that I purchased at Rhea Lana's consignment sale for a steal. It's a cute navy dress, and it was too long, so I know it'll last her through early fall as well!
After church, we went to eat at Red Robin's.
G played outside some more and met our new neighbor across the street (they're only 2 months apart!) while MC and I took a nap!
It was such a wonderful weekend, and I was so glad that it wasn't going to end, because DJ's off for spring break all week and I'm off most of the week as well!
