Lunch with a Friend

Lauren had a lunch date with her friend Max today. They enjoyed a lovely dish of macaroni and cheese and pears.

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2010

We gave it a good shot this year. Three great traps were built with varying methods for catching the elusive Leprechaun. Unfortunately, we did not catch one. We will not be heading to Hawaii as we had hoped. Darn! Those Leprachauns are quite tricky. They rustled all through Jake's trap, stuck Lego's guys over the sticky surface of Matt's and made swinging Lego vines to get into Josh's trap. They turned our milk green, turned our toilets green and tp'd our bathrooms! They did leave cool green sunglasses and some chocolate gold coins for the boys though.




The cutest leprachans I have ever seen.

Say what?

Our house can sometimes be a crazy little bee hive. We are so fortunate to have 3 great boys and our sweet little girl. As it goes with busy households sometimes we don't always pay full attention to everyone when we are talking. Here is a little scenario that I overheard while doing laundry. Phil and the 4 kids are in the kitchen. Matt just had his Karate test and moved up a level. All 3 boys do karate and must do push ups and sit ups at home and keep a log.

Lauren: Having a snack in her high chair
Matt: Talking about how excited he is with his new belt.
Josh: Gets down on the floor and starts doing push ups.
Jake: Gets down from the table to join him.

Phil: Those are great push ups. You boys have a lot of push ups and sit ups for the new log.
Josh: Finishing his push up, sits down on the floor and looks up an at Phil and says, " Carlos and Charlies."
Phil: Oh is that what they are calling them these days.
Josh: Just looks at Phil who is wearing a shirt from Carlos and Charlies.

As I write this I am chuckling to myself. Phil never noticed that Josh had switched topics and really thought that they were now calling sit ups and push ups, Carlos and Charlies.
