We party just as hard......

So it was one of the biggest hang-over days of the year..... Die hard Saint Paddy's day celebrators slumped into work today with black coffee in hand.....



OH WHAT THE HECK DO I KNOW?! I am not one for bubbly or hard stuff or anything in between, I have a feeling even if I did I wouldn't be able to "hold it." In this house we don't need no stinkin' liquor, just bring on the SUGAR!
Per request I sent a festive cake. It was a white cake that was turned BRIGHT GREEN, of course about the color of the dark frosting you see but a few shades brighter! I sent a disclaimer taking no responsibility for any change in any digestive system of any participating eater.... I can't help it, it was fun using a whole bottle of green food coloring! The filling was a chocolate raspberry ganache and while it was a little on the fudgey side, a little hard to cut through... it was still really decadent.

The girls and I weren't quite as festive, we got to spend our day taking 6 month old Charlotte to the Pediatrician for her well baby checkup and immunizations..... So not only is she teething and miserable, but as my kids have a tendency, she got sick from the shots, I can't blame her, 4 is a lot. A "Bright green nose"showed up, oh, I guess she was festive...:) Our saving grace was the teething biscuit which she thoroughly enjoyed as well as some after dinner entertainment. The girls love it when Levi comes home and so while I may get more of the dramatics during the day, the theatrics come out at night. We have a couple of divas in training. Emma has an uncanny way of making us all forget our stresses, even Charlotte as miserable as she was got a kick out of her sister.
Don't worry as weather gets warmer we will find better activities......We hope everyone had as much as we did on this very green day.

Kids laughs are the BEST sound in the WORLD! I love how the video ends with Emma frozen mid fall. You're evenings are a lot like our evenings.

I sure love hearing babies laugh!

Oh my gosh! That video is so cute! Scout does the same thing--she thinks Soraya is hilarious hopping, running, or playing peek-a-boo. Sisters are so fun!

Charlotte has the most adorable eyes! And, wow, if I could only get some of that energy of Emma's...I am tired just from watching her!
