St. Patrick's Day fun!

This year for St. Patrick's Day I decided to actually do some fun stuff with the food the girls ate. We always wear green, but this year I decided to go the extra mile and do a little more. For breakfast the girls ate cheerios in green milk, nothing too over the top or exciting but fun none the less. For dinner I made BRIGHT green German pancakes, green eggs, bacon, and vanilla pudding with green sprinkles for dessert. I was going to color their milk for dinner green too, but both girls decided purple would be better. We had enough fun with it that this will probably become a fun tradition each year! Here are some pictures of our fun day!

Fun with cousins!

Over the weekend McKinley and Shaylie had the great opportunity to spend time with their cousins! Marc's brother Kent and his family came up on Saturday and spent the night. All four of the girls (yes you heard me right, 4 girls in one bedroom with the oldest only being 8) had a blast! The noise and mess levels were astonishing at times but we made it through without any major fights or injuries, so I suppose you can say it was a successful weekend visit. We do wish they lived closer so the kids could play together more often. Here are some pictures of the kids together.
