Luck of the Irish

I love all things Irish!  I was lucky enough to travel to Ireland in college and get a credit for studying Irish Literature!  I tell Justin I married him for the O'!  Emma was decked out all week in her green!

This week I made homemade Play-doh out of cake mix and it was a killer to stir!  Emma made her own pretend kind (out of her shells)

She also LOVES spaghetti.  I took a slow motion video of her eating it and it is pretty hilarious!

Friday was the St. Patricks Day race.  I decided to walk it and let Emma join in.  We dressed all in our green and I pretty much carried Emma the entire mile (My arms are so sore!)  It was fun and maybe she will want to walk most of it on her own next time! 

Emma is staying with her Mimi tonight so we have celebrated all we are going to for this year!  But we had to have some fun with all the junk I have around the house!! 

I leave you with a collage of my sweet leprechaun over the past few years!

Sunshine?!?

Can it be?! The sun has arrived in VA! We had a beautiful weekend, I got a little run in on Sunday (because I was a super lazy bum Saturday afternoon!) and Emma got to enjoy being outside.  On the sad end, our dog, Knox, is not getting better with his walking.  I'm waiting to hear back from the vet, he is so  pitiful. My heart is broken over how much he struggles to get around.

Emma's nails for St. Patrick's Day

Fr"ice"day!

That's right, more crazy weather. It was 50 something yesterday then we were coated in ice this morning.  I am going to work just on a 3 hour delay!  I thought I'd catch up on the week!

Here's the view of our iced over cars this morning.  It really wasn't too bad on the driveway so E made it to school on time!

Wednesday was "Wacky Tacky" day at the daycare.  I had to really talk to E to get her sold on this idea. The shoes really threw her for a loop, there was some pouting and mumbling "My shoes have got to match!" but she was a trooper and much happier when she saw her friends with different shoes!

I also had to go for a check up for my kidney stone situation.  The doctor told me there were no immediate stones that he could see in my kidneys!  Woohoo, I'm going to enjoy the peace of mind, until I have any time of side pain!  

Thursday was pretty boring.  Work and detention for me so E got to hang out with my mom until I got home!

Our dog, Knox, has been feeling bad, he has had trouble walking (putting pressure on his back legs) and had this nasty case of dermatitis on his belly, he had to take a trip to the vet this week. Emma has just talked about how when he feels better he's going to sit in her lap.  She settled on just loving on him.

Today was dress as your favorite Seuss character.  Emma was a star bellied Sneetch (because it was so easy to make the outfit and not the typical Thing 1.) Of course she had nails to match!

Here she is with her friend, Thing 1!

Here comes another post with SNOW!

I'm tried of typing snow!  I love the stuff but dang!  We were out yesterday because of a predicted ice storm that didn't hit but did turn to a light snow in the afternoon.  I'm on a delay this morning and thought, why not catch up on a few things!

Saturday we attended a birthday party for Emma's cousin, Alyssa, or "sissy" as Emma refers to her.  It was a double party so it was a cowgirl/zombie theme!

Sunday was my youngest nephews birthday.  He turned 12, and my heart just broke!  We had a good time celebrating and Emma got to love on a sweet puppy that attended the party.

My two babies!!! 

Emma's school is celebrating Dr. Seuss this week, so of course she had to have nails to match!

We also did a little hand craft.

The most exciting part of our week was Emma's trip to the dentist, and it was pretty uneventful.  The exception being that she helped "clean" my teeth and was put in charge of the rinse thingy and she pretty much soaked me.  That's the perk of having your sister-in-law being your hygienist! The rest of our week has included Emma being put on an abx for an out of nowhere ear infection and me feeling like total poo for the past few days.

Who's Clues? Blue's Clues!

Saturday we attended a Blue's clue party. It was good fun!

It was such a pretty day here today.  After church I enjoyed a nice little run and Emma wanted to enjoy being outside!

(Ha! Look, it's my shadow!)

The sad news is that they are calling for snow in the middle of the week!

Week Wrap-up (2-18-14)

Ahhh, another week in the books.  This week has been uneventful.  I was able to get a few runs in outside after school, that is so much better than the treadmill! Justin is at a conference for a few days so it's  Emma and me for a few nights!  Tomorrow, we have a birthday party so Emma has some awesome theme matching nails!
