A Domino Party

Every once in awhile, all the ladies in my family get together for a domino party. My Aunt CJ recently had us all over for some dominos, great food, and fun!

My Aunt CJ...the hostess with the mostess!

One of the three tables we had going!

Miss C(my Aunt L's niece) and Miss A(my flower girl, who is growing so big!)

A little treat I made. They were little "gardens" with carrots in them

My other treat I brought...mmmm, one of my favorites!

We were also celebrating five March birthdays! Here are the beautiful birthday gals!

Happy Birthday to you!

Domino cake! Yummy!

Good Fortunes

At daycare, there is a basket of fortune cookies by the door for the kiddos to have alittle snack on their way home. My kids always take one and then have me read them their fortunes. This was one of M's and it made me laugh out loud! How appropriate.

I see no danger of that with Miss M!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

For the first time ever, we all went to St. Paul's St. Patrick's Day parade. Not sure how many times we will go again. After almost two hours, it was still going! At least it wa sa gorgeous day and we went with our good friends, the M's.

N wore a special tie that his Grancy got him for the day

After the parade, the kiddos napped at Grancy's while we went for lunch and some green beer....here's me and M1

Backyard Fun

When we got home from the zoo, I was working in the gardens, while the kiddos played. They invented their own game, which they found extremely funny! It made me laugh too, mostly because they were laughing so hard.

They stuck a rain gutter extension into the handle of the fire pit and he rolled a superball down, into her face.

Fair's fair! Then they switched spots!

We Went to the Zoo, Zoo!

Lately, I have been working a weekend day here and there and having a weekday off with the kiddos. The fun part about this is that we have been able to catch up with some of our friends that we don't see so often and have some great playdates! This day, we met our friends, the R's, minus TR1. Very fun day! my kiddos were so cute. They obviously missed their friend P quite a bit, as they kept fighting to be by her. :)

Weeee! M loves slides!

M and P, diggin' in the rocks

Three cute little friends...and a might cute little profile on the left!

Catching up, over lunch. ;)

Thanks R's! Makes me want to work more weekends!

Checkin' out the Pearly Whites

I took the two kiddos to the dentist to get their teetch checked. We had m go first, since last time she got a little antsy and not so cooperative. She was a champ this time!

N got x-rays for the first time. The hygenist took him to another room to take them. When she came back she said she could not get over how smart he was. She said he was reading everything on the machine, then quizzing her all about it. :)

The Dentist used the x-rays to see when n might start losing his teeth. His estimate was summer or early fall. N tried very hard to negotiate for Spring, but no luck. Haha!

Happy to report, no issues! Both kiddos teeth look great!

A Sign of Spring

On one of our early, really warm evenings this Spring, we headed over to our friends the L's for an evening barbeque. I didn't take any pictures there, but the car ride over made me smile because the kiddos were in their baseball hats and it just made it feel even more "Springy"!

Rapunzel made the trip too. :)
