St. Patrick's Day

A Happy St. Patrick's

We didn't do too much today for St. Patty's Day because Ian had a party at school but I did make some... 

Shhh.... they are really just spinach muffins but the kids have no idea they are healthy because you can't taste the spinach at all! 

Basically you are just doctoring up some boxed muffin mix and adding some spinach. (click above link for recipe)They turned out wonderful and the kids loved them!
 Hope you had a wonderful St. Pats!


Kite Flying


 

What a wonderful day to fly a kite!



 Leland had some great kite flying skills!


Always fun to watch the boys together. They made a great team!
 






Definitely looking forward to spring!!

Rocket Ships and Fast Cars

 w/ a little help from some baking soda and water! 


I found this great little Discovery Kids Turbo Launcher set at Target on clearance. I love grabbing things like this on sale because they boys loving doing them and it's gives us something different to do after I have heard the "I'm Bored" a million times.  Plus I thought this would be right up the boys' ally and it was!




They had a blast building it with dad!
They worked together as a team....









Leland worked hard at putting the wheels on his rocket car. 






 Finished Products.... one super fast Rocket & one super fast Rocket Car!

Happy Spring

I know it's not spring yet... technically we have until the 21st of March but it sure feels like spring around here! I think the whole family is getting spring fever. 

My mom sent these super cure little planters for the kids so we finally got the grass planted and they have started to sprout.

No we are just waiting for that warm weather! 
Thanks Mom!
