celebrating: GREEN

Happy Spring!
Officially.
Not that it really seems like it yet.
It's been cold & windy & gray.
But it is on my calendar and I love Spring
and therefore,
we celebrate.

We woke up to flowers
and orange rolls.
I would have had some chirping
bluebirds flying whimsically
throughout the house,
but....
ya' know.
That's psycho,
which I definitely am not.

A bit of green out front.
But how come mine are like,
2 inches,
and everybody else's are 6?!
Green thumb? Not me.

The beginnings of a green yard again.

1st spotted:
3/15/11

Is this for real?
The ladybug returns for his
3rd year March appearance.
Remember?
This is just getting weird.
Anyway......
we loved St. Patrick's Day!

Am I the only one that stayed up
til midnite,
weaving a crepe paper rainbow
through my house,
smirking like a school girl
thinking about how much fun my
children would have the next morning
hunting for the gold at the end of it?
I know, I'm so obnoxious!

When Ella saw the rainbow,
she said,
"Bainbow!"
Where did she learn that?
Breakfast was
rainbow pancakes & Lucky Charms.

Bugg's breakfast

The leprechauns gave us all
kisses during the night.
(Ha! I got them all tattooed.
Even the Hunk.
Nobody woke up.)

We gave Bugg a lucky visit
at preschool.

Do they not have the cutest
art projects?!

My friend & I did a class party
for Mia's class.
So fun.
Except that I still don't have
my complete voice back!
And that's tricky with a room full
of 1st graders!
Had a flashlight hunt that evening
looking for the 4 leaf clover.
It had a clue on it to find the treasure:
these cupcakes.

Luck SHMUCK.
Just plain BLESSED really!
