St. Patty's Day!




Two years ago we were packing up our old house getting ready to move.  We had all the windows open, were picnicking on our deck, 15 month old Miss Makenzie was happily wandering around and had just learned how to open the doors to let herself out! She was wearing a green & white plaid shorts overalls outfit, still totally bald.  This was the first time that she was able to walk outside by herself since learning to walk and had a LOT to explore.   The temperatures were in the 70’s and low 80’s.  That was so cool to have a brief “summer” before we left that house!  And certainly nice to use that huge deck!!







Flash forward two years…
We still have LOTS of snow around… the high was in the 20’s!  We stayed inside all day. We are in a new house, which we are looking to do some remodeling in.  Makenzie has hair now… not a lot… but some.  (A little less since attempting to cut her hair a few weeks ago.)  She dressed herself in green: tinkerbell pj pants with a dark green sweatshirt!  It was laundry day, while I was advancing the laundry she was “playing” with baby #2.  Really, she was trying to carry her to put her in the laundry basket to push her around.  She dropped her.  Madison was ANGRY, which I don’t blame her one bit.

We had a leprechaun sneak into our house and got into some trouble.  Our milk was green… and so was our cottage cheese!!

Makenzie almost didn’t want to eat her cereal because she wanted to keep the green milk!  She was pretty excited to say the least.  When she saw Madison’s milk she was pretty disappointed that her milk wasn’t green too…. Sorry hunny!  Haha, Mama doesn’t make green milk!  We would probably have some serious problems if that happened!

At the beginning of the month we made a sensory bin of “Leprechan’s Clover Seeds & Leprechan Gold”.  We had 24 lettered clovers that were hidden in there that Makenzie had to find.  Then she had to match them up.  She loves playing in it and she’s learning too!  Win win!  Even Madison got to play in the seeds and LOVED it.  It made a gigantic mess…. But she loved it       .
