St. Patrick's Day

Addie and I made green cupcakes on St. Patrick's Day for fun.  I really have no skills in making cute cupcakes, but Addie thought it was cool to turn the batter green and they tasted yummy!  Addie also made a clover hat in preschool and a leprechaun left some candy on the stairs at her preschool, which she thought was pretty awesome and in turn wondered why the leprechaun didn't visit our house.  I told her he got busy but will most likely visit us next year, who knew leprechaun's left candy, I will be more prepared next year for sure.  That was about the extent of our holiday celebrations besides wearing green!

Disney on Ice

Addie was lucky to be able to go to Disney on Ice again, this time with her two Grandmas.  I think she was in heaven the whole night; she wore her princess dress which I denied her last time, she had the full attention of both Grandmas and her Mom, and she was able to see almost all of the princesses.  We had such a good time and Addie was so worn out by the end, she fell asleep before we were halfway home.  (I only got a few pictures while sitting down, I am so mad that I didn't take more pictures, oh well there's always next time :) ).

Zoo Day

Our zoo pass expired at the end of February so we decided to go one last time even though it was chilly and it had recently snowed.  Addie's cousin, Ben, joined us and we enjoyed walking around seeing the animals.  A lot of the animals were inside because of the weather, so that was a bit of a bust.  We ate lunch by the tiger area and watched the tiger pace back and forth behind the window.  When we were frozen we went inside the "stinky building" to check out the spiders, snakes, crocodiles, etc.  We ended by the gorillas who were also inside, one was sitting right by the window and Addie asked why he wasn't thumping his chest.  I only snapped a few photos and all in the same spot!  We sure have loved our pass and once half of the zoo isn't under construction hopefully we will go back.

Reading Books

Addie and Izze love to read books, I often find them in Addie's room with books scattered everywhere.  The other night I went in to put them to bed and found both of them on Addie's bed reading books together.  Izze often lays on Addie's bed at night time thinking I won't banish her to her crib, ha ha, not happening anytime soon.
