I love this video, this one is actually one of my favs of hers.

After watching this Calvy said "That was a lot of running"

Hahahaha!

I cried the second I saw Nie Nie and her family. I'm a boob!

Enjoy!

St. Patty's Day!

Oh yes we wore green today!

We had the best day, we ate everything green and wore green, it brought a whole new meaning to us being a green family. ;0)

I was thankful I found this, with just a swirl of green I figured it wasn't as bad.

Look how cutie.

We woke up and had green swirl french toast with Green Machine juice, and Karo Pancake Syrup which BTW the first 2 ingredients are corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup...not kidding(but we did eat it, haha)

They LOVED their Naked juice, but that's pretty much a staple in our house, we LOVE Naked.

I love his face. This green swirl breakfast is so boring.

Then for lunch my BFF came over and we had the most fantastic meal ever! The pictures say it all. Seriously fun lunch, esp because my friend and I were able to just chat the whole time and take pictures and laugh and make fun of people who can knit sweaters because we are so jealous. Hahaha!

Look at that bread! Can you believe I found that?! Me either so fun and SO green.

Ya baby! Green apples, Green grapes, celery..everything green and delicious!

Calvy and Ellie and my friends' super cutie Daughter M.

Trying to help Calvy do a green smile.

Look how good my friend is, I love her pictures. That sandwich was G double O D, GOOD!

Caleb did not like something in his mouth, so he cried. ;0) But he's holding tight to that celery.

Calvy's juice spilt and we made a big deal over it being so cool, so for the rest of the day he spilled his drink, cute but not so funny, esp when it's on my phone.

Look at that cutie. Ellie ate grapes and apples and celery for lunch, she wouldn't touch her sandwich...

Maybe that's why. that looks disgusting! She said she wanted the head though, she wanted to eat the cherry eyeballs. This is the peanut butter and jelly side so it looks especially gross(a.k.a. almond, cashew butter without sugar and organic preserves with fruit juice concentrates instead of sugar)...where do I find this stuff??? Haha!

Then for dinner we had a "classic" Irish dinner

Corned beef, cabbage, fried potatoes, green beans and special pudding for dessert.

I was actually planning to make green Jell-O for dessert, but who knew it took 4 hours to set instead of 20minutes??? And if you say you did I'll cyber slap you. ;0) So plan B, make pudding and dye it green...it was such a pretty yellow that I decided to put a little green as an accent and a few things lead to another and this is what I made, and cutie little Shamrock.

I'll tell you how I made everything, over on my food bloggity.

Today I learned that I really don't like corned beef, but that I can definitely get full and happy on potatoes and cabbage. It was such a fun day, I loved every minute!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

P.S. Do you know the real story behind St. Patrick? Pretty interesting, like the reason why we use Shamrocks, look it up it's cool to find the history behind traditions. As weird as traditions may be, some are SO fun and they make us happy and that is why we celebrate.

I'm starting a new Easter tradition in our house, I'll tell you all it later...I'm pretty excited.

Cha' check it!

I was blogging and saw this post on another blog, check it out, I felt pretty special and a little stylish, though hers may be a bit cuter. Check it out. ;0)

I have been thinking about changing mine for a long time, I mean those pictures are almost 2 years old. Hmmm, maybe...uh ya, I'll find the money somewhere. ;0)

Good Morning!!!!!!!!!

Caleb's usual, leaning on Mommy.

Ellie's usual, getting into something gross.

Calvy's usual, making a funny face!

This morning we woke up and danced to "Lollipop", Planet 51 version, and it is all because Ellie again told us all that we have lollipops. Haha!

Excerpt from Calvy's Breakfast prayer:

"Please help me to hold a Lizard, and help him to not bite me, and help him to stick my tongue on me...stick his tongue on me."

Love living in my house.

P.S. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day! We will have a whole day of green food and clothes and possible diarrhea for a week because of all the food coloring.....we'll just see. ;0)

fun with photo Booth and good morning!

What was that? My enormous ears were in the way.

You know that's right.

I love Alan's nose!

Look at Calvy's smile, seriously hilarious!

What do I say about this???? Just funny it drives me monkey!

My dryer is calling my name reminding me that I have warm fluffy sheets to put on my kiddos beds, Calvy is calling my name reminding me that Ellie is asleep so that means it's movie time, and last but not least the huge pile of laundry sitting on the couch is calling my name as well.

Today is actually a great day, I have done laundry and changed bedding, had leftover taco soup for lunch, have dinner in the crock pot(pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw...mmmm)

*PAUSE* I totally just got Skyped by my cousin Dustin. I LOVE Skype, so fun. If you have, look me up and we can chat!

My BFF came over to chat for a few and let the kids play. We are trying out potty training with Ellie and I feel great. And Calvy said this prayer over lunch and we had this conversation:

C: "Please bless my robot will get a head, and will put jammas on my head and will carry toys and play with me and share."

M: "That was a great prayer Calvy, very entertaining."

C: "What does that mean?"

M: "It means it was funny." oh crap, I shouldn't have said that

C: "My prayers are NOT funny."

M: "No not funny, it just makes me happy."

C: "Oh, well you can't talked to me when I eat, you can just wait when I'm done you can talk to me."

M: "Okay."

We used the law of attraction last night and Alan got another parking passs for school, which is awesome, because if you don't get it you have to park at least 3 blocks away, and it adds a lot of time to your morning and night. SO Awesome! I used it this morning and too, I envisioned all of my children waking up with smiling, happy faces, and all 3 did, it has been a great morning.

Ellie: "Calvy Calvy! Guess What! We have Lollipops!"

Calvy: "I know!"

Ellie is always telling us and everyone else that we have lollipops, and I'm thinking it might be because they got UGE lollipops for Valentine's Day. She seems to tell us when we are all talking excitedly and wants something to say too, so she tells us about the lollipops that have been in the trash for weeks now. hahaha!

Awesome!: Spring in creaping around the corner! I feel a BBQ coming on......
