...then the laptop crashed

These were the last of the back~logged pics from my camera I had ready to go before the great crash of 2012. Luckily, all of our files were saved. I've got three words for ya': back.up.now. You probably already back up. I do, too, just not nearly often enough.

So, this is gonna be quick, so hang on.


Anna Claire's newest past time is picking weeds in the back yard. Sweet thing thinks they're flowers. She puts them all in a big bucket then makes little bouquets.

Another outfit Mallory chose herself.

On St. Patrick's Day a silly leprechaun visited and left the girls Lucky Charms and green milk and water for breakfast.

Later that day the girls got hair cuts and we shopped a bit at Target for some shorts and t-shirts. I got caught again unprepared for the warm weather.

Later that night we celebrated Papa's birthday at Wasabi, the girls' first Japanese steak house adventure. They loved it! And did surprisingly well with the rigged-up chops sticks!

Horrible phone pics. :-(

A couple nights later, we celebrated Daddy's birthday at home with spaghetti and pound cake. Yum.

Mallory still wants to be a bride when she grows up. Notice the mismatched shoes.

Now, you're almost caught up. Spring break starts in about ten hours {whoo~hoo!}, so I'm sure I'll be back soon with all kinds of fun stuff!

Thank Goodness for St. Patrick's Day...

...because sometimes we need to take a break from wearing all that pink!

A Little Bit O' Irish?

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day a little early with an Irish feast.

For dinner tonight, the girls had corned beef, cabbage, and mashed potatoes. They both loved the corned beef (shocking!); Anna Claire could not eat enough cabbage, and Mallory gagged on the mashed potatoes. I'm not sure what this says about how much Irish blood they might have in them.

Since it was uncertain how full the girls actually got from dinner, it's a good thing I made dessert tonight (also shocking!). Both girls ate their weight in pound cake with syrupy-sweet blueberries and strawberries (not shocking!). Yummy!

Get Your Green On!

updated...
Anna O'Claire and O'Mallory just wanted to wish everyone a happy St. Patrick's Day! We figure there's a drop of Irish blood in them somewhere, and we need all the luck we can get in hoping these nasty colds are over and done with soon...so far, no coughing tonight. YAY!

Cute picture of girls dressed in green sitting in clover hopefully coming soon.
