This is How We Roll

With 20 days to due date everyone was a little worried...we have a 5 passenger car.  The baby (or Bo) would have to ride on top.

But Saturday night after a day away my

husband pulled up with this:

I was shocked & very excited!!!! 

Now the baby could ride inside with the rest of us!

Thursday it became the Leprechaun Mobile when we headed to Cousin Cal's 2nd birthday.

Oh yeah!  Are we coolio or what?  :)

(Please do not really answer that!)

& when we arrived looking like a bunch of weirdos...

...we fit right in!

Our picture standards are very low when we

put all the kids together.

(In 2 months there will be 2 more little ones between the 2 families.)

(Birthday Boy on the far left)

Yeah...we are a little nuts...I like nuts :)

Hope you get a chance to be a little nutty

with your family today!!!

It All Makes Sense

My husband is VERY IRISH

I mean his name is Kelly Doyle,
it doesn't get more Irish than that.

So this week when Bo:

Painted the back of Rocco's head with nail polish

(picture taken after a week of scrubbing & scrubbing)

and

emptied the sugar shaker,

on Rocco's head & in his pocket,

It really isn't his fault because...

They are leprechauns!

"...a mischievous elf in Irish folklore."

 

"...clad in a red or green coat,

who enjoys partaking in mischief."

 

"They are tricky fellows and like to

play pranks on unsuspecting people."

It all makes sense now!

Just took one trip to the Target dollar bins

& it finally is all clear.

So single girls...

...watch out if you find yourself falling

in love with an Irishman.

St.Patrick's Day

Last night we stopped over at my sister's, Auntie Cake's.  I turn around & wouldn't you know...I look out the door & see Kate has my kids dressed up like this:

Apparently they were joining Kate's Little Fireman for a LEPRACHAUN HUNT. 

Off they go!

They took it very seriously.

I wish you could have heard them!  It was one of the cutest things I have seen in a long time.

Hope was rising when Bo said, "I caught tometing."  But dreams were quickly dashed when the kids saw what he caught:

   At one point I leaned over & asked her "What happens when they never catch the leprachan?"

   She said, "Well, he's coming to my house tonight."  & she sent me off with a bag of clovers, green marshmallows, & a crown so the leprachaun could visit us too.

So this morning...

The kids followed a trail of clovers to find treasure left by a leprachaun. 

Annie was wondering if they left her a crown because maybe she really is the Queen of Clovers.

Later, Rocco waited at the door for her to get home for school.

She changed right away into her green clothes & enjoyed her green lunch.

Yeah....the Queen of Clovers is having a pretty fun green day :)

Happy St.Patrick's Day!
