Happy St. Patty's Day

I have corned beef in the crockpot and cabbage ready to be boiled...however, I think we are going out for Japanese instead. How very Irish of us:) I really only wanted the corned beef so that I could make hot corned beef and mozzarella sandwiches. I love to take sourdough bread and pile it high with the corned beef and cheese and then toast the whole thing...yummy!

The rain finally stopped for a day so the kids and I spent some time outside this afternoon. It ended in a temper tantrum by a little girl who refused to take a nap today and instead followed around mommy while I cleaned the bathroom. The dog tracks that are all over the place are driving me insane. I just keep mopping and they keep finding more mud. I think I may give up since there is more rain in the forecast for Thursday.

Michael says hello to everyone...this post is taking forever thanks to his curiosity about what I am typing. The kid just won't leave the laptop alone:)

Better get going, I don't know how many other Irish folk will be at the restaurant and we don't want to wait too long!!

March

....is flying by! We made the trip out to Texas and had a wonderful time while we were there. The kids are really getting used to the ride to and from Texas. Needless to say, they are always a little more whiny on the way home.

Matt and I had a fantastic time on our weekend away. Thank you so much again Grandma for taking care of the little monkeys!

We don't have any major plans for the rest of the month. Addison turns 3 on the 24th and we are having a party on the 28th. We have already ordered the ridiculously expensive princess castle birthday cake (thank goodness for the $3 coupon we got in the mail). I am going to try and get her to shy away from going all the way princess with the party since we are only inviting little boys. It seems like there are no little girls in our circle of friends....that are her age anyway. Addison truly doesn't seem to mind though. I guess boys are a little easier to boss around anyway:)

Matt is getting a week of vacation around the end of June and we are planning on heading down to GA for the week. There are so many friends we haven't seen in such a long time. I really hope that we get to see Scott and Anna and the kids while we are out there. Time is really flying by and the babies I remember are now going to school....INSANE!

Michael and Addison go for their well-baby visits on the 23rd of the month. Addison is weighing in on our scale at 26lbs and Michael is at 29lbs. I hope Addison is doing all right with her weight and height. She is a healthy kid so I am thinking she will just be a little bitty for awhile:) I have a feeling Michael will maintain his reign at the top of the food chain. The kid has been in the 90th percentile since his 6 week checkup:)

The weather is really starting to be perfect here. Mid sixties during the day and low forties at night. If we could get the sun to shine just a little more often it would be perfect!
