I think the boys asked the little Mexicans something really inappropriate...as they walk away with a little souvenir!

Alyssa is getting MOODY.  At 5 she already has certain mood swings....I don't look forward to her teen years.

She MISSES her Fairy God Mother, Camench!!

Spring cleaning!

We've been busy spring cleaning!  We have been on spring break, the weather has been awful..cold and rainy.  We have done some pet sitting for James, Millie, Daisy, Puppy and Lucy.  Brian has been off for a few days so we decided to attack the basement.....18 years of hoarding mail, every electronic manual and box we've bought since living in our current house, baby items and just plain JUNK!  Brian agreed he had a bit of a problem of not throwing away mail and not shredding it.  What a relief...I LOVE throwing away things.  The kids and Brian get nervous when I get in these kind of moods...this week REALLY pleased me!  I'm PROUD of you Brian!

This is JUST the trash....we have 10 boxes of mail and paper work to shred...which are still in the basement.  But at least we have sorted.  The trash pickers were out and enjoyed picking through the trash and taking a broken carpet cleaner and a stroller full of cobwebs.  We enjoyed watching 3 different beat-up pick-up trucks last night out the window.  What a hobby...next week we are putting out an old refrigerator...we are putting wagers on IF it is taken!!

Happy be-lated St. Patrick's Day

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day at the Magee's and the annual Dublin's parade with Dr. Magee in the front seat of the green fire truck.  It was a bit wet, but we still enjoyed the parade.

The last of it.....and spring is springing...

The last of the snow / ice on the patio and the Christmas tree cut up in the fire pit ready for a pine smoked fire.

Even with a few spots of snow remaining, around the corner our day lilies are sprouting...amazing what three days of 60 degrees and sunshine will do!

Hopefully winter is gone and spring is here to stay!!
