Happy St. Patricks Day!

Notice her feet... always on her tip toes....




Spring Break has been nice this year, the weather has been beautiful so it has made going to the park and playing outside nice and easy. I did attempt the library yesterday for a "fun" activity... they have story time and do a little craft. I have tried this before and thought since we are a little older it might be easier. Wrong. My kids are not library kids. They cannot sit still and listen to silly songs, they want to be in my lap, looking at books, doing the activity... I always leave sweating and thinking, " Why did I think this was a good idea?!"
What was a good idea is Zach setting up the tent in the backyard. Something so simple can provide hours of entertainment! Wyatt attempted to sleep in it one night... (Zach and I took bets on how long he would last!) Not very long, he came in and said, " I think I will wait to another night, it is so cold out there...." (the temp was 80 degrees!) So, he got up early with Zach to workout and went in the tent and fell asleep until daylight (which at 5:30AM is a couple of hours)

We started off this morning with green eggs, a tradition... and hope to have more green fun today! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thank goodness for good friends and neighbors... I love my neighbors, they make our lives so enjoyable.. Yesterday we celebrated Bella's birthday with play date and cupcakes at the park, today we headed over the the 4H petting zoo and discovered an awesome new park! Every time I go to one of these, I call Zach and tell him I want to move to the country! I love animals, I love the 4H program and it is hard for me not to sneak the baby goat in my shirt and take him home! I know I would push my luck though... right now we have a new cat that Zach is highly allergic too, but we have all gotten attached too.. Columbo is still around, we are debating on sending him to my Mom's, that what a good wife would do. Zach said the only way we could keep him is by keeping the house super clean and only letting him in to eat. That is hard to do, so I started today by scrubbing the baseboards in the bathroom.. I have to say I am embarrassed to say the least.. So each day is a new scrub down project to get the house super clean. (And thank goodness Terri decided to come back and help!)
WE found an awesome park, too bad they are always on the opposite side of town! It was an adventure park, lots of rope climbing, rock wall, and I think Crossfit approved... it required lots of pull ups and body movements to maneuver..Casey and I love things that are free and wear out the kids, so we will be back soon!
