One Potato, Two Potato

Skinny Dipping

I love how even when you take her pigtails out, she still has them. :-)

Spring Bonnet Parade

Today is Peyton's last day of school for a while. It happened to be the annual parade they do every year with spring hats and bonnets so I got to go and see my little guy march through the parking lot! 

First came the babies.

Then the toddlers.

Isn't she the cutest bug ever? I want to squeeze her!

That little guy looks familiar!

 'Is that?!'

'Is that my Mom?! Yeah, I think that's my Mom!'

 'Ha ha! It is!'

There goes Mr. Cheese.

Off and away!

Here come some spring flowers and shamrocks.

And what's Spring without sunshine? Too bad it was cold and windy (for reals) outside. We really did need some sun!

There was a lot of skipping and jumping!

And this little girl looked pretty from head to toe.

More dancing... aren't you excited for warmer weather? These kids are! :-)

Frisky Fresh

Mom, this is stupid. I don't want to take pictures!

I'm not looking at you. You can't make me look!

I said I'm not...hey, check it out; there's a ball over there!

Maybe I can sit on it if I really try hard.

Nope, that didn't work.

Wait, are you STILL taking pictures of me?

Whatever, Mom. I'm outta here!

Yeah!!! This is WAY more fun than standing still and smiling cheesy.

You should try this Mom!

Here! Give it a go!

Silly Mom! You dropped it!

 

Here you go!

I told you this would be fun!

Seeing Green

No pinches for us on St Patty's Day! We wore green and made sure to have leprechaun potion (lemon-lime kool-aid made with Splenda) and corned beef (cooked all day in Guinness beer) with cabbage, potatoes, carrots and onions along side a hearty loaf of Irish Soda Bread!

 We also had Pop's Salad for dessert (Mom, you know what that is!) which is lime jello set with pineapple, cream cheese and marshmallows.

Yum.  

Later after the kids were in bed, Troy and I got to play Patty-Fingers. Ok, just kidding...

Maybe. :-)

A Party for Peyton

We're celebrating age 3!

With Lions and Tigers and Monkeys, oh my!

It's a wild animal safari :-)

Each child got a box of animal crackers, a Golden Book about how the zebra got its stripes or about the tawny scrawny lion or the saggy baggy elephant, a safari animal coloring book with stickers as well as a small plastic toy animal (there was an elephant, zebra, giraffe, lion cub and tiger cub). 

The party was complete with puppet making kits of a lion, monkey, tiger, elephant and bird! Peyton's friends Will and Henry are busy making a lion and a monkey with their Dad.

The best part, no scissors or glue required! The parts all had adhesive backs. Thank you Martha Stewart! Here Peyton's friends Brooke and Madi are putting together a bird and an elephant with their Mom. 

And last but not least, Peyton made a tiger; which is only fitting since Troy is wearing his LSU Tigers t-shirt. The tiger was the hardest puppet to make since you had to attach each stripe and paw print individually, but it really turned out cute.

And this little sunshine was the master lady of ceremonies. She had the best view in the house! :-)

Will and Henry had a great time with their puppets!

And Peyton loved his Peter Pirate Jack in the Box from his little buddies. Chloe loved it too; they were both giggling over it later!

And of course, you can't give out coloring books without breaking out the crayons and coloring away!

Peyton had a great time with his friends. 

Hurray for age three!
