St. Patty's Day

Those silly leprechauns were up to the same 'ole tricks this year, tipping over chairs, stools, pillows, etc...But they did remember to leave Connor and Carly some "gold" (rolos) in their shoes!

These were a last minute gift idea for the teachers.

Daddy and Mommy Dates

This post is slightly outdated but worth a quick post. Last weekend, Matt and I enjoyed dates with C&C. Matt and Connor spent Saturday afternoon at the Richmond Auto Show, while Carly and I went with my mom to see CYT's (Christian Youth Theater) production of Cinderella. We all enjoyed our one-on-one time and the kids had a great time too. Some pics:

Carly insisted on wearing her Cinderella dress to the show, along with the shoes and crown. She looked just like a princess!

And even got to meet the real Cinderella from the show!

Now this weekend, we switch and I have some Mommy-Son time and Matt will have some Daddy-Daughter time. Yeah!

5 miles

I went running with "Coach" this morning. I was a little intimidated because she and her running partners have run 10k's, the half marathon, and are currently training for a 10 miler. She warned me that this morning's run was 5 miles and she had confidence that I could do it at their pace. My plan was to try to do 4 miles this morning and then walk the rest. I was beyond excited when I found out that we had all run the 5 miles together. Whoot whoot!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss

This week in school the children participated in a variety of events/activites to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday. The culminating activity was a Character Parade. The children were instructed to dress as a favorite storybook character. Connor finally decided upon...

I am excited to say that I made this costume myself (except for the hat, which we already had) yesterday for a total of $7.47! What a bargain! It's a good thing, since Connor came home with a ripped sweatshirt, half of his white "breast" ripped off, and a ripped hat. What goes on at school I do not know...
