I want to set a trap to catch "Abraham Lincoln"

Our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
Tatum has been counting down the days for weeks now and has been so excited for St Patrick's Day!
Tatum was determined to set traps and catch "Abraham Lincoln" and his pot of gold.
Yep, you read that right.
She keeps referring to a leprechaun as Abraham Lincoln.
I don't know where she gets this stuff.



I tried green food last year but it horrified the kids they wouldn't touch it.
So we took the easy route.
Lucky Charms--and you would have thought it was Christmas!





We took a little trip to the Library/Environmental Learning Center
Go GREEN!



Dessert
Pot Of Gold Cupcakes

15 months!

We call her the snack snatcher--
if you leave anything within her reach she is likely to have it in her mouth.
She is silly. Very happy.
She finally is walking. Now running.
Oh, and her new favorite trick--walking backwards.
She loves Minnie Mouse, and her baby doll.
She thinks Lincoln is hilarious.
She loves her shoes and bows.
She is very fancy.
She tries her best to keep up with Tatum.
She is by far our best eater.
We ADORE our Saylor Rose.

She weighs 20 lbs 15 oz (all her weight is in her cheeks)  25th percentile
30 3/4 inches   50th percentile
Oh and we have been binky free for a week!

Making Magic.

 It would be an understatement to say that my kids love Build-A Bear.
I received a FREE animal coupon in the mail and off we went.
We established some conditions prior to entering the store and managed to escape with only spending $11!



 Meet Sparkle and Yogi.

Harlem Globetrotters

This is the only picture I took when we went to see the Harlem Globetrotters.
We received some free tickets and thought it would be a lot of fun.
It was. Kind of.
Semi sick kids. Nap time. We left at half time.

Cute Clean Coordinatings Kids


It was a rough month.

 February was rough.
Everyone was sick.
Really sick.
So sick, that this kid actually took naps.

He ALWAYS gets it RIGHT!

 I turned 31.
Ben bought, coordinated and decorated the night before my birthday!
He ALWAYS gets it right!
I am usually counting down the days a month before my birthday but it was a pretty hectic month leading up to it that I really wasn't that excited.. until I walked downstairs birthday morning.

 A scavenger hunt with gifts from the kids.
 And a very Betsey birthday.

"A person's a person no matter how small!"

 The cardboard Seuss made another appearance this time in Tatum's class for the Dr. Seuss birthday celebration! The class loved it.
I had favors left over from Thing 1 & Thing 2 Birthday Party , so I made little gift bags for Tatum's class.

 Again, with the cupcakes.
These are mini cupcakes and I used icing instead of cotton candy.. much better tasting!
 Green (hard boiled) eggs--she wouldn't touch it!
