She's Four

She loves to play outside.
She wants to learn to swim under water.
She likes to play with tape and band-aids
Strawberry Shortcake, Bubble Guppies, and Dora are the top tv choices
She wants to know all about her extended family and how people die
She loves to do family devotions
She changes clothes at least two times a day
She loves almost every food except tomatoes
She'd eat marshmallows all day if I'd let her
She loves to play with both of her brothers 
She hates going to bed on her own and would rather have someone "lay with her"
She loves Snow White but won't watch Beauty and the Beast
She thinks everyone with a beard in books is Noah
She thinks she wants to be independent 
She thinks she still wants to be a baby
She makes me laugh every day

Project 365 March 23rd thru April 3rd

March 23rd
Can you tell how proud of himself he is now that he is super mobile?

March 24th
This is the normal scene at our house when Lucy arrives home.  She takes everything out of her backpack and throws it all on the floor right in the walkway.  Someday I'll miss this right?

 March 25
Cooper, under my feet always, here when I'm trying to play the piano

  A quick trip up to Chicago to visit Chris & Courtney.  They were just in town for a quick weekend getaway.

He still likes to snuggle up in mommy's bed and fall asleep.

Coopster is ready for Cardinals season too!

April 2
Lucy made this at school.  It was an "L" made of dirt and then they grew grass on it.  I thought it was pretty neat and wanted to take picture of it knowing it wouldn't last.  After I took the picture I picked it up and then proceeded to trip and destroy it.  What was I saying about Lucy being wiggly?

April 3
Ahhhh a quiet, calm, exhausted Lucy...a rare moment these days!

St. Patrick's Day

We're not Irish.  But we did have fun making the day fun for the kids.  Some leprechauns came and stirred things up at the house.








The kids were pretty entertained by all of this silliness.   After the searched the house for all the mischief they could find we had a breakfast with green eggs.


Lucy had preschool and of course it was green day!  She didn't have anything green so she went with her Tinkerbell dress.
We finished our day off with corned beef, cabbage, and some grasshopper parfaits.  All in all a fun day!
