Updated Blog #1

I've been getting a few "nasty-grams" saying that I haven't posted or that what I have posted aren't "blog worthy" posts so I hope I can redeem myself today. I realize I have been slacking off in the blog area but just think of all that I have been accomplishing by not blogging. I have actually come up with a small list of excuses. Here you go:

1. We've been trying to get some things done around the house, i.e. shelves, painting , hanging

pictures. (I'll post some pictures soon, mom.)

2. I was busy reading the book, "Escape" recommended by my sister. I couldn't put it down.

3. We've had company (pictures to follow)

4. I've been busy reading everyone elses blogs. (bad excuse, I know.)

5. My Sunday afternoons that I scheduled to blog have been taken over by naps the past few

Sundays.

6. March Madness came along and I was hooked. Oh wait, that wasn't me, that was Tim.

7. Gilmore Girls.

8. McKenna is now crawling everywhere and pulling herself up so I can't leave her alone for a

minute.

Now, that I have tried to redeem myself for slacking, here are some pictures that are probably considered VERY old news in the world of blogging but I have to post them anyway for my posterity.

St. Patrick's Day!

We had green eggs and green pancakes for breakfast but I forgot to take a picture, of course. The girls wore their shirts from Ireland and we had Irish stew and yummy Irish potato rolls for dinner. It was really good, I just wish it would have been colder that day to really enjoy the soup.

Spring Break! Here are some random pictures of the girls. This is how they enjoy there spring break. They all love to sleep in Alexa's bed. In fact, they do this almost every Friday night. I am so glad they enjoy being together.

If you know Alexa, you know she is not one to dress up or be the least bit girly, although she is very dainty and lady like (don't tell her that.) When she was four she took tap lessons at the community center. She tolerated the class and REFUSED to practice with me. Even when I offered to put my old tap shoes on and practice with her, she wouldn't have anything to do with it. Luckily it was cheap and only lasted 8 weeks, I think. Soccer season started and the girl was hooked. The day after her first practice, she woke up (still in her pajamas) put on her shin guards and shoes, grabbed her ball and was headed to the backyard to practice. Much to my dismay I have come to grips with the fact that she will never want to take dance. That is why this picture is so "blog worthy". Here is Alexa WEARING A DRESS UP SKIRT. We told her to pose like that so I could take her picture. The first thing she said was, "Don't put this on the blog." When I hear those words, that's exactly what happens. Isn't she cute!
