Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Bob and I woke up to yelling this morning and then remembered that the Leprechan brought gold and left it under the kid's pillows! They were screams of happiness for the gold coins and Twix bars. (The best I could do on short notice.)

The kids had a blast getting dressed up in the special stuff that Auntie Ann got for them. I think they looked adorable going off to school with hats and ties and tatoos! They were so happy and excited to see their friends.

The rest of the pictures are just outakes from the Saint Patrick's Day cards that I so desperately wanted to send out. I bribed the kids with gummy bears and cousins over to play and it worked a little bit! I may eventually perfect this technique!

A friend from our church prayer line sent this out today and I loved it so I will leave you with the inscription in the breastplate of Saint Patrick.

I bind to myself today,

God's Power to guide me,

God's Might to uphold me,

God's Wisdom to teach me.

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY! WE LOVE YOU!

Check out that counter - Auntie Beth is coming home in a little more than a month. Molly has oodles of plans for her so I hope she is ready! We are getting a little worried because her blogs are sporadic so we don't know what's going on but our eyes are wide with anticipation as we watch basketball and wait for the punchbuggy commercial. Peter has us taping everything that has to do with basketball and then watching in fast forward to see if we can find Auntie Beth's commercial!

Today was a special day because Molly and Abby took Auntie Ann to see Riverdance. It was her Christmas present - that she had to wait months to redeem - but it was so much fun. What an incredible show it is! Molly and Abby favored the Irish Step Dancing parts while Auntie Karla really like the Flamenco dancer in the middle - we don't know where we got her from! I blogged for a long time (longer than most people wanted me to - I'm sure) the other night so I am going to make this short and sweet. The girls looked adorable in their dresses and purses.

My camera got confiscated at the door so I made everyone stop quickly and take a picture. You can see how happy they were to indulge me!

This was supposed to be Annie showing off her big girl underpants! Don't ask!

My favorite movie is on so I'm off to snuggle on the couch and watch Hoosiers!

GNM - ILY!
