Spring was supposed to have sprung...

I was all excited to post about how warm it has been and how much fun we've had outside...





Bubbles are so much fun!





And then this happened...



All I have to say is that the girls better be grateful I hadn't packed their snowsuits yet... lucky kids.



"Seriously mom, you're still taking pictures? I thought we were going to play!"



"Oooooh. Snow!"



"I fell! And it's Cold! And I don't like it!"



"Ooooh snow!" (Gotta love a 2 second attention span!)



What do you do at the end of March with snow on the ground? You make a snowman of course! It was perfect snowman snow! But you really do need your gloves to stay on...



Or maybe you don't.



At this point Zoe was done... "But I don't want to make a snowman!"



While Aeriana was far too wrapped up in the moment... "Something doesn't look right. I don't think it goes there."



While Zoe did a little more of this...



"It has to go on just right!"



"Is there anything else in there? I think we are still missing something."



"Why does Aeriana always get to do everything?"



"OK fine, maybe this can be fun..."





And of course my little princess modeling next to the snowman; I seriously don't know where she gets this. Notice the serious face.



Hey I managed to get a smile!



Then of course the questions start now that the snowman is all done and his hat is on.

"Mom... why is the snowman not talking?" (yes that is what she asked me)



And on that note... Who wants hot chocolate!



"Mmmmmm... tasty!"



"What? I'm not tried I don't know what your talking about!"



All in all not too bad of a day considering there is snow on the ground and it's almost April.

Happy Springtime!

My Morning Soundtrack

Courtesy of Aeriana's lovely voice and her best friend, Rebekah's willing support:

"Come on 'Bekah, let's follow the prophet!"

(Singing and marching...)

"Follow the prophet,
follow the prophet,
follow the prophet,
follow the prophet,
follow the prophet,
don't go awaaayyy!
Follow the prophet,
follow the prophet,
follow the prophet,
follow the prophet,
follow the prophet,
don't go awaaayyy!"

HAPPY ST. PARTRICK'S DAY!

We had an eventful evening last night and morning. We wanted to catch a leprechaun; those sneaky guys have candy and gold. Come on who wouldn't want someone like that? Aeriana was so excited!

We made a leprechaun trap to catch them. Glitter and all things green attract them. Didn't you know?



Aeriana so proud of her and Zoe's (but mostly her) creation.



The next morning we woke up to glitter everywhere and no leprechaun, but we must have scared him quite a bit, he dropped everything he was carrying. Poor guy.

Checking to see if we caught one!



Mmmmm. Green eggs and green milk. :)






All morning long all Aeriana could focus on was the huge mess the leprechaun made. Not that he turned our milk green (resulting in green eggs for breakfast) as well as our toilet water. No she was only concerned about the mess and wanted to clean it up. So that's exactly what we did. What kind of mother would i be if i said no to my child wanting to clean?





And of course after we were all done cleaning it was time to rest with a book.



You see this look... yeah I get the same one from Brett when I bother him when he's reading.



So lets review... loves presents and chocolate (just like Brett), can only focus on the mess (just like Brett), and when reading, which is often, do not disturb (I'm seeing a trend here). Is her being female the only genetic contribution i made? Oh well, maybe Zoe will be more like me.

Then again maybe not...



Happy St. Patrick's Day!
