Sledding and Hot Chocolate

On Friday night/Saturday morning, we got 7-8" of snow...

The most snow we've had in a LONG time!

Right when I was getting anxious for spring...go figure.

Anyway, we took the opportunity to go sledding.

It has been such a mild winter, that this was only the second sledding day we have had all winter.

The other time was over Christmas, in Glendive, with my parents.

Liam enjoyed himself was in snow heaven!

Getting all snow-bunnied up!

Getting pulled by Daddy was the highlight of the day!

"Daddy, I'm falling out!"

Staying in the sled was much easier on the belly.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

Wipe outs were some of the most fun for Liam.

"Ready to go again, Daddy."

Pretty fun to have a couple sledding hills in your yard.

Cheese :)

"Here we go, Daddy!"

Liam wanted to take a little break to go throw rocks in the lake...

...but they were all buried, so we tossed snowballs in the lake instead.

After sledding, Liam had his very first cup of hot chocolate.

mmmmmmm...

By 4 O'Clock...most of our snow was gone...

Good thing we took advantage when we had the chance!

Saint Patrick's Day

I always thought celebrating St. Patrick's Day was kind of silly.

Growing up we never really did much other than wearing green to school.

I STILL think it's a silly holiday, but for some reason silly things become much more fun with kids :)

Yesterday, we had a fun family day, and that is always something worth celebrating!

First it was off to Church...

Some of us were pretty tuckered out by the time we got home...

including M.E.

Naps all around!

Then we went on a scavenger hunt for GOLD!

Last week, the weather was so nice...yesterday it snowed...

So an indoor event was in order.  

"Look Mama!  I Found it!"

Just biting it to make sure it's real.

"More Gold!"

"Maybe under the table?"

Liam found seven pieces of gold...and soon discovered that they were CHOCOLATE!

Better than the real deal :)

Green milk...

...leaves a green mustache!

Auntie Shannalee came over to have corned beef and cabbage with us.

I quickly discovered that I prefer my cabbage pickled...

Sauerkraut is SOOOO much better...

Liam saying "GREEEEEEN," instead of cheese.

Auntie Sahannalee brought over some 4 leaf clovers for us to plant...

apparently they are ALL supposed to be 4 leaved...

Liam and I are both skeptical.

"Thank you!  Kiss!"

We also had Green Rice Krispy bars and lucky charms...

It was a pretty fun day...

Silly holiday and all...

*Cheers*

Night, Night

Liam has been in his big-boy-bed for a while now, and he LOVES it!

Sometimes he walks by the baby's room, point to his/her crib, and says, "old bed" in this little sad voice, but truth be told...

he feels like a rockstar in his new bed.

Here is a little look into our nightly routine...

We do some singing too, but you'll have to wait for a clip of that.

Music and coloring are Liam's current favorite activities.  

We do A LOT of both EVERY DAY!

I'm thrilled to have a kiddo who's into the arts :)
