Leverchauns...

Here is what the Leverchauns left in the babes shoes... Soph was so excited. She got some fake hair and wore it around all day. Dawson got some balls and a sucker. He was in heaven. Sophie calls Leprechauns, Leverchauns. She is a nut.

Happy "Green" Day...

Soph has been looking forward to "Greeny Day". I made green pancakes for breakfast. She loved it and said, "Yum this green food is Delicious". We got dressed after breakfast and Lisa called. We decided to go to the outlets. We spent most of the day at the outlets. I got a couple of cute things for the babes to wear this summer. We came home and relaxed for a while. For dinner we went over to Gram and Papa's for Corned Beef and Cabbage. They had a gold rock hunt, Whoever found the pot of gold got the special spot, whoever got the most gold pieces got a prize. Sam found the pot and soph had the most pieces. She got 2 dollars and thought she was really cool. My mom told her she could go buy a prize now, she got really frustrated and told her she was "saving her moneys for Disneyland". Dinner was good and Jessica made cupcakes for dessert. We left the babes shoes there so the "leverchauns" could leave them a prize.

Earthquakes and Technology...

We woke up to the sad news of the Japanese earthquake. We watched some of the footage this morning. It makes me sad. My heart and prayers go out to all that were affected. It brought to the forefront of my mind the danger we are in, right here in Utah of a devastating earthquake. I am nervous, but determined to be prepared. I am going to check out my food storage and emergency equipment. I can only hope and pray that if and when the time comes we will all be safe. On a lighter note. I am so happy to report that we have officially entered the world of technology. We layed to rest our old trustees (sniff)...
...and upgraded to something a little more "modern". Cor got a Droid X and I got a smaller touch screen thing. I am not really sure how to use it. He is wondering how he ever lived without the Droid X! So, yay for us! (like how Cor's old phone was literally taped together!)

Are you kidding...

See the huge crack at the bottom of the bottle? I was two feet away making the bed. I looked over at Daws sitting on the floor holding my perfume. I ran over to put it away so he wouldn't put it in his mouth. As I grabbed him I was overwhelmed by the smell. I picked him up along with the bottle. Thats when I realized it was pouring, not dripping, but pouring out of the bottom. There was also a large puddle on the floor. I threw it in the sink and ran to the kitchen. I scrubbed Dawson's hands and made sure that he didn't get any in his mouth. Thankfully he didn't. I put him down by his toys and went back in the bathroom to face to the smell. I soaked up the puddle with paper towels and scrubbed the floor. I poured the remaining perfume in a squirt bottle. I am not sure how a plastic bottle got that big of a crack! I really liked that perfume, but now I am not so sure I can handle the smell any more. I opened the windows and then went outside. It was a gorgeous day. The snow is gone and the sun is out. I spent the entire afternoon washing my windows, trimming my bushes and cleaning out my flower beds. I am so excited for spring. Our whole house still smells of perfume. I wonder how long that will last...

Mardi Gras...

Jess called me this morning and told me that it was Mardi Gras. She wondered if I wanted to help her throw a party. We started brainstorming and came up with the idea to make seafood gumbo, cornbread and beignets. She came over right after work and we got started on the food. I couldn't believe how many ingredients are in gumbo. Everyone came over at 7:00. We listened to the Princess and the frog soundtrack and ate really yummy food. My favorite part were the "Man catchin' Beignets". They were deep fried goodness! Happy Mardi Gras Ya'll!

Snow...

We went to sleep last night to a light spring rain and woke up to a foot and a half of winter wonderland! Soph couldn't wait to get out there and play in the snow. So after breakfast we piled on the clothes and off she went. It was up to her thighs. She immediately made a snow angel. I loved watching her try to walk around in it. She made herself a snowball and proceeded to eat it. Dawsie and I watched from the window. I think he wanted to go out too. Unfortunately he doesn't have the necessary clothes this year. We had a huge hill that we were going to let the babes sled down after lunch, but half of it had already melted. I expect it to be gone in a few days. Crazy march weather!

New Projects...

I saw this gorgeous painting on my cousin Amy's blog. I loved it and had to copy her! I have been looking for something to put over our bed. I love how it turned out, and that it was Free!!
