Kitchen Fun

March: 12th

I love silly days, this is one of them...oh, and Twinkies!  Pretty much a perfect combination.

My sweet helper

Let the Silly"ness" begin!

Mr. T found his sister's sunglasses, pretty fancy!

He decided to share and as all good brothers do he put them on her.

March Madness and How to catch a Leprechaun

March has been pretty interesting around here, lots of snow, then none, Ella lost her other front bottom tooth at school while eating her snack and swallowed her tooth in the process.  Then the next day Ella got hurt after school when part of the chain link fence fell on her, luckily she was fine (me, not so much, I was so worried).  

Most recently we've been working on our March Family Project, a trap to catch a tricky Leprechaun.  After searching the web and Pinterest for ideas we found one in particular we liked and could easily do with our own fancy changes.  We used a wipes case, bought green duck tape, and a bunch of St. Patrick's Day stuff.  Here is what we came up with...

And here are the photos after we added clouds, a ladder and a small window with bars for when that tricky fellow gets caught!

 "Gold Inside Here Too"  Ella is so cute!

 "The Jail"

 "Lots of glittery gold!"

 "Do not come up"  (reverse psychology works every time right?

Finished Project! 

Snow Day!

March 9th

We got a lot of snow on Saturday and the kids took advantage of all that "white stuff"

Daddy and Ella made a fort!

But Thomas was sad,

 he fell down, threw some snowballs and then he was glad.

 It was so fun to watch them play on our Blizzard Saturday.

 

 

Some Fall FUN

We are back!  Lots has happened since we last posted about our trip but for now here is some Halloween Fun!

We started off with a trip to the Farm to get some pumpkins...

Trunk or Treat!
This year the party at our Church was huge and it was the first of three times the kids were able to dress up in their costumes.

Next up was Ella's classroom party, so I got Thomas all dressed up and ready to go!

I loved seeing how sweet she was to her brother, hugging him and letting him tag along.

For Halloween Ella was a princess for her school party and a My Little Pony on Halloween complete with tail, wings and a hat that had the ears and crown.  The costume came together with the help of some Aunties in KY.  Here is Princess Cadence 

The weather was a nice 74 degrees, perfect for Halloween!

We saw this great Ninja Turtle lunchbox and I knew immediately that Thomas had to be a Ninja Turtle. My friend made his hat and I made the front and knee and elbow pads.  I think his costume turned out great! (He even made sure to grab his plastic cell phone, you never know when a call is coming)

 Daddy had the great idea of taking the wagon to pull Thomas along.  We would get him out so he could stand by the door, ready to get his treat but for the first few houses Thomas tried to go inside and got pretty mad when Daddy pulled him back.  By the end of the night Thomas had this "candy thing" down.  He even started saying "thank you."  I think it was a big success.

After we got some candy we went to a party and ate some scary treats!
