March 17

Alex:

Today is St. Patrick's Day.  Leprechauns came to my house and messed up my room, left chocolate coins, took cushions off the couch, made my milk green, peed green in the toilets, made our puppy's water green and were naughty.

Jen:

I'm so lucky!!

We had bread for dinner last night.  I took a picture of the foil.  It is pretty.

I got a pineapple today at Sam's and cut it up when we got home.  Alex decided to use the top as a hat...is she a'la Fruit of the Loom or the Chiquita lady?

I checked out a book at the library in my school.  It is called Hannah's collections.  I like it because it has a silly part, she gets everything she has together and calls it her sculpture collection.

Over the weekend we cleaned out and reorganized the playroom.  We got rid of lots of old toys and changed around the furniture for better TV viewing.  This is the new and improved condensed toy section.

Week 9 (#'s 54-60; Feb 23-Mar 1)

I love m&m's so I love my m&m machine.  I made it myself with a little help from my Mommy.

I love popcorn, it's yummy to eat.  It's a good texture too for my picture.

Today there is nothing to do because my mommy and my brother are sick and my Dad is at work.  I'm so bored.

Today we're learning about Jackie robinson in school.  We made a little guy of him and we wrote about him in side his arms.  He was the first African-American to play baseball on a major-league team.

This is my piggy bank.  I am looking forward to buying Bella Sara cards, nut I only have one cent!

We are watching Men In Black.  Zach is laying on a blow up mattress and watching a movie.  We call this a slumber party in our family, I loved the movie.

This is a very special piece of paper.  I made it myself with a recycling machine that I got for my birthday.  It is so much fun.  Next time i think I'll make it with color.

One of my Daisies in the troop made Valerie and I these little candy creations!  Aren't they adorable?  There were quarters attached and straw and lollipops.  So creative!

This is where I spent most of the week, on this little corner of the couch, watching TV.  Soooooo sick!  Whatever this virus is threw me for a loop!

And then Zachy got it too!  Poor little guy!

Yep, still watching Oprah, Jon and Kate Plus Eight, Elle, Lifetime Movies...ugh!!!

So, I thought she'd put on her Converse....but she chose the brown shoes.  Uh-oh, the stripes show!  She liked it, thought it was funny (soooo her personality) so off to school she went!

Alex helped me make breakfast this morning, she cracked the eggs, stirred the milk in and dipped the bread for the griddle.  She did a fantastic job.  Thanks Alex!

This is what i came down to this morning stuck on the fridge.  Alex had been up before us and made this rocket...i guess it's launching from the fridge?  She is so creative!

# 52 and 53, Feb 21-22

So, I have been sick all week and am just now able to face how far behind I am on EVERYTHING! Here's the last 2 days of week 8 and the next post will be week 9...

We are wrapping a present for my friend Miranda.  It is her birthday.  i buried myself in all of the tissue paper.  I love tissue paper.

We went to Miranda's birthday party and I caught this adorable moment after she opened Sarah and Amy's present.

This is my new watch.  I got it from McDonalds.  It's a fun watch but it isn't set yet.

Sunday was grocery day...we went to the commissary and did a big grocery run.  I haven't been in a while, but my current opinion is that the prices are lower than the regular store enough to make the trip down there worth it.  I, of course, took my "green" grocery bags and coupon books...I saved over $20 in coupons this time, woo-hoo!!
