Enjoying a New Book

The four of us spent some time at the Mall of America today and one of our purchases was a book from the Harry Potter collection called, "The Tales of Beedle the Bard".  The girls were excited to start reading it and took advantage of a sitting break we took inside the Mall.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

So, the girls' trap didn't work again this year, but that said, the Leprechaun left them a lovely note and lots of little goodies for their clever attempt to catch him again this year!

Leprechaun Trap 2014

It is that time of the year again to try and catch us a little Leprechaun and the girls have been hard at work designing an inviting space to attempt this.  Although, honestly, I think they talk more about all the gifts they are leaving for him to take home, so actually "catching" him is an afterthought to giving him fun gifts and pets to have for himself.

Hopefully he likes the accommodations and the new pet ... I wish them luck tonight!

Miss Madison Got A New Bike Helmet!

It is totally her ... and she LOVES it!

Over 50 Degrees F and the Snow Is Melting!

We are see our landscaping for the first time since right after we moved in back in November!  I was forgetting what we had underneath all the snow!

 With the first warm day this spring the girls from the culde sac got their bikes out for some fun!  It is so nice to have six girls between three houses out here!

They also climbed the melting snow mountain across the street!

We are definitely ready for spring!!!

Sleep Over Time!

The girls had a super fun night of girl talk, playing games, watching movies and just being silly girls with four of their friends.  We had Mia, Lilly, Kamryn and Tawnie staying with us and they made the most it, until I made them go to bed at midnight ...

of course they were all bright-eyed before 7 a.m. this morning ... :)
