So "Grown-Up"



We found "Grown Up" Sunday clothes shopping the other day and the kids came straight home and tried on their new duds. When I asked them to stand next to each other for a picture, Parker quickly grabbed Kora's hand and planded a kiss. They also danced handing in hand as only toddlers can do. They we positively adorable!

It Was A Green Day!

We celebrated the Irish in style today. Not with traditional corn beef or leprechauns or even a bit of pinching. We celebrated Green Day! We ate green eggs and green orange juice for breakfast. We ate green cupcakes and green frosting in graham crackers. For lunch we dyed chicken noodle soup green and had green kool-aide. We then finished off the day with green beans, green biscuits and green cauliflower. (plus some other stuff in between to make each one a meal) It was so much fun watching the kids try the green food and then tell me it tasted the same as the "yellow" eggs or the "orange" juice.
Breakfast
Dinner
The kids ran around telling everyone they met that it was Green Day and showing off their cute green shirts they got this morning. I'm surprised Parker didn't show off his green underware he just happened to find in honor of the day. Kora was even decked out in green hair ribbons, and green fingernail polish.

Under the Sea Birthday Party



On Saturday Kora celebrated her 3rd Birthday with her friends. Kora got to play her favorite pin the Flowers on Ariel and toss the bean bag fish into the baskets.




We had three other girls at our house making sea shell bracelets, "pixie stix" sand art jars, and Sparkly foam fish.



There were games like toss the Bean Bag Fish, Keep the Bubbles "balloons" in the air and even a treasure hunt with real jewlery tresure in a little chest .




We ended the fun with a lovely purple Fish cake and blue ocean juice, with fun umbrellas and straws.

The girls loved that their tongues changed color from the purple frosting.


I can't believe Kora is already 3. She is a ball of fun all day everyday. She is definately one to keep me smiling and she always willing to give loves. Kora loves her Big brother and Little sister and is such good helper around the house. I still can't figure out where she got all her "girly" traits, from her wanting her hair done everyday, with a bow to her obsession with princesses and all things "pretty." We are so lucky to have such a cutie in our home. We love you Kora Rae!
