St Patty's Day

We had a lot of fun on St Patty's Day... one could argue that Mommy had a lot more fun that Eva... since I stayed up till nearly 1 am creating a fabulous leprechaun house! It may have scared Eva a little bit when she woke up with it sitting in her room... she cried a little before I could explain to her that it was fun and leprechauns are nice. Drue took some great shots of us dressed up in green and chasing that sneaky leprechaun all around the house... once I told Eva he was playing hide and seek was no longer scared - "Ohhhh! Hide and seek! That's not scary, that's fun!!" But she was very concerned all day for our safety - she insisted on wearing her green Yoda hat all day to protect from being pinched. We also affixed green tape to her special stuffies so they wouldn't get pinched either - and Swiper too. But he didn't really like it much, so we took it off him...

When we went to bed, we left the leprechaun a little snack of green coconut and 3 green smarties. He ate them all up and even left Eva a picture of a rainbow as thank you! Now that's a nice leprechaun....

March in Review...











More Birthday Madness

Eva's actually birthday was a lot less crazy than her prior party, but not without its charms. She woke up to a decorated room, had a birthday breakfast in her fort, watched shows, went for a walk, and had Nana and Drue over to open present and have cake. Eva got to pick whatever she wanted to eat for dinner - walton family tradition - and she picked waffles and whip cream. Fine by me! :-)
