Top of the mornin' to ya!!

Well, it's now almost the end of the month, so I guess I better do our St. Patrick's Day post. The day before St. Patrick's Day, I told Malia all about St. Patrick's Day and Leprechauns. She was very intrigued by the mysterious little leprechaun, so we decided that we would try to entice the little guy to come to our house for a visit by leaving out a bowl of lucky charms, a pile of pennies, and some gold. Malia and I had done our research on the internet and it said that leprechauns liked all of these things. Malia hid all three things in different places and then she went to bed. She was very adamant that the leprechaun stay out of her room, she still wasn't quite sure about this strange little fellow, so I left him a note, informing him that all bedrooms were off limits. He paid us a visit and made a big mess of the living room. He dumped out shoes, left paper all over the floor, and left a trail of confetti where ever he went. He found all of the stuff that we had left for him, and he left us some goodies in return. After checking everything out, Malia rushed off to use the restroom, only to find that the leprechaun had turned our toilet water green. That silly little leprechaun had also gotten into Malia's lunch box and left some cookies and a note. It was a great day!! Brinley and Malia both sported their green shirts, so we had no pinching that day!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Johnson!!

Sorry this is getting to you late! Hope you had a great day! We love you!

Malia's got bling!!

Yesterday was quite the day for Malia. She has been wanting to get her ears pierced for quite some time now, but Rod has had his reservations, so we put it off. Rod and I had discussed maybe waiting until she was eight or something, but nothing was concrete. Yesterday as we were out doing some shopping, I jokingly pointed at a Claire's store and whispered, "Hey, we could always go and get Malia's ears pierced". Rod didn't even hesitate, he just turned around in the car and asked her if she wanted to get it done. Of coarse she said yes, so in we went. She was a little nervous because she didn't know if it would hurt or not. We talked her through the process and she did great. She picked out some really cute pink stone earrings and just loves to check them out in the mirror. Last night as Rod was running around with the girls, Malia kept saying, "Dad, be careful with my earrings"!Malia cried for just a second after they did it, but calmed right down. Afterward we asked her if it hurt and she said no. She said she was just crying cause she was scared that it might hurt.
Malia, about 3 seconds after the last photo. Like I said, calmed right down.
Showing off the bling!!Calling her peeps to share the great news! She was so excited!
A little better shot! The others were taken with Rod's phone!

Do you like green eggs and ham??

You do not like green eggs and ham? I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
Could you, would you, with a goat? I would not, could not, with a goat!Would you, could you, on a boat? I could not, would not, on a boat.
I will not, will not, with a goat.
I will not eat them in the rain.
I will not eat them on a train.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! You let me be!
I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I will not eat them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them ANYWHERE!I do not like green eggs and ham! I do not like them Sam-I-am.
You do not like them. So you say. Try them! Try them! And you may.
Try them and you may, I say.Sam! If you will let me be, I will try them. You will see.Say! I like green eggs and ham! I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!
And I would eat them in a boat.
And I would eat them with a goat.
And I will eat them in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good, so good, you see!
So I will eat them in a box.
And I will eat them with a fox.
And I will eat them in a house.
And I will eat them with a mouse.
And I will eat them here and there.
Say! I will eat them ANYWHERE!
I do so like green eggs and ham!
Thank you, Thank you, Sam-I-am!


Happy Birthday Dr.Seuss!!!
