Madeline was so excited about St. Patrick's Day, but very worried about being pinched. She wanted to know who would pinch her and who she could pinch. We bought a green dress and she was excited. 
A little St. Patty's Day fun in the morning.
Jack off for a day of green beer and corned beef. Well, maybe not just yet...
In their cute St. Patty's Day outfits. 
My cousin Dana was having her second baby, so some friends of hers and I decided a shower was in order. We picked a safari theme and went crazy. Above are the goodie boxes we made. 
Here is Dana 8 months pregnant with the baby. She had the baby today, 8 lbs 12 oz (big boy)! 
The adorable cupcakes Tam got from Hansen's cupcakes. They were yummy and too cute. .JPG)
The buffet table with all the yummy food that friends brought! I think it was fun and a good time was had by all. 
Jack has moved to a new school this week, he was in the baby room at his old school and I was not very happy with the program they offered for toddlers, so I thought I would move him to a school with a toddler program. He started on Monday in the 18 month room, but only lasted a half day his first day, then he came down with a bad virus, on top of the ear infection. 
After two days at home with Nana and Papa (thank god for their help) he was ready to return, and had a full day on Thursday. He was not that happy when Heath dropped him off and did one of those screaming sessions that you just know is going to be loud, his mouth was still open, sucking in air, when Heath left the room. I called several times during the day and he ate his lunch and took his nap and gave his new friends lots of hugs! He is the only little boy in his class with 5 little girls!!
Okay, so I have not updated my blog for weeks and weeks, I can't believe it is February, where did January go? Heath celebrated a birthday on January 20th and had two parties, a fondue with a small group of friends and a family dinner the next night! Madeline was very excited about the cake, the best part of a birthday! She went with Nana to order the cake and couldn't wait, she really would have rather started the party with the cake, a girl after my own heart!
Our weekends are action-packed with My Gym for Jack and ballet for Madeline. She is starting to learn some moves and loves to demonstrate themfor us the rest of the week. She has a concert on May 23rd and is going to be a Hello Kitty ballerina in the Toy Story. She likes the ballet classes okay, but the mirrors are more fun!
Last weekend was a beautiful Saturday so before we headed off to our classes we played outside. Jack favorite thing to wear in the mornings is a robe from my friend's little boy, he loves it and wants to do everything in it, thus the reason he is helping with yard work...
and playing with his buddy Elmo, all in the robe. If we try to undo the tie, he will cry and run away. It is so cute with his way too big doggy slippers that I bought for him, he is quite the sight in the mornings! 
Ivy just sent me some pictures from our Chili and Cornbread night and I had to post them because I thought they were cute. Here is Jack and Ivy on the porch. Jack really liked the handwarmers and thought they felt good all over his face. It was cute (at least I thought so)!
