Are you Irish??

I don't think that we are...but it sure looks like we want to be!
Friday, our library held some St. Patrick's Day activities. The kids had so much fun making hats, watching Irish dancing, doing the "shamrock stomp" (a cake walk where Ryan who thinks that we never wins anything, scored a box of green cookies!) and getting their face painted.

The "King of the Leprechauns" even came to tell stories! This was perfect because Thomas and I have been talking about mischievous little leprechauns who might just play tricks on us when St. Patrick's Day arrives. (It's silly, but I can't wait for them to wake up and discover that their milk has been turned green. I know, I'm lame.) Thomas came up with the idea to build a trap to see if we can catch a leprechaun. We will let you know how that turns out. It's cute to see how excited he is.

I was surprised that Nathan held so still to get his face painted. (I promise that I was just holding his little chin, although it does look very similar to a choke hold...maybe that is way he held so still?!

Random things we have been up to.

Thomas' friend Tristen from Arizona was in Utah and invited him to Chucky Cheeses for her birthday. Thomas walked from game to game all day with this same expression on his face. I had to keep asking him if he was having any fun, I guess he was just too overwhelmed to smile. Not the reaction that I expected of the day!

Since the boys are having with drawls from the swimming pool and warm weather, they now spend ALOT of time in the bathtub!

Thomas started preschool in January and loves it. He goes to Northridge High School were my mom works. Because the school's mascot is the Knights, the school is called "Noble Knights" preschool. As you can imagine Thomas thinks that this is just perfect for him. "How did they know, that I am a Knight?"

We now live 10 minutes from my parents, 2 minutes from Ryan's parents and around the corner from Ryan's sister Brittany. It is so fun to have family close by and cousins to play with. Whenever we get together, I always think to myself, "This is what it would be like to have three kids each a year a part!" Thomas and Kelli are like two peas in a pod. When the other cousins are playing princess or school, Thomas and Kelli are in their under ware jumping off the couches or climbing up the closet sneaking cookies with Nate always close behind.
