When the kids woke up on Monday morning they saw that the Leprechauns had invaded their rooms. Those pesky Leprechauns threw their clothes on their floors and left some coins on their floors. Not as much of a mess as last year, but still things had to be cleaned up. They also left some "Magic Dust" on our island. When you combine the dust with Cool Whip & mini marshmallows, it makes the Cool Whip turn green. The kids thought it was amazing. We did that at Nana's & Maddie loved the stuff...Ben loved the marshmallows.
The kids & I took a short trip to my parent's house this week. Since we were on Spring Break & Scott didn't take of any time, we decided to visit family. We arrived on Monday morning. After lunch, we took off to a movie and saw The Spiderwick Chronicles. Allie thought the movie was scary & the rest of us really enjoyed it. We had a nice dinner with my parents, grandmother, Will, Mandy & her kids. Allie & Mandy made these really cute Easter treats that looked like a bunny driving a car. Allie loved every minute of that!!
On Tuesday, Allie and mom made brownies in the morning. Allie loved getting to crack the eggs, something that I don't let her do. The kids and I took Grandma to lunch. We had a really nice time. That afternoon, we popped popcorn and watched Hairspray with Nana. We met my extended family for taco night for dinner. There were about 16 of us!! It was tons of fun. The kids were able to run around while we waited for our food & even met up with some of their friends from school that were visiting their grandparents and happened to be eating at the same restaurant we were. What a small world.
On Wednesday, Ben & Maddie came to mom's house since Mandy had conferences and would be working late. We spent the morning with them and then took off to meet Kim for lunch for her belated birthday & to hear about her recent trip to Florida. We shopped a little with her & stopped for ice cream & then came home. It was nice spending some time with her....Allie tried her best to feel baby Drew kick...of course he didn't cooperate!!
We spent today catching up on some laundry and other projects around the house. I had a dentist appointment too, the kids came with me & were surprisingly good!! We colored Easter eggs today. They turned out pretty good.
Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow...hopefully they are wrong. Our snow is just about gone & we aren't sad to see it melt!
