Birthdays and such

My oldest turned nine! For his family party we had rootbeer cake, rootbeer frosting, topped with crushed up rootbeer barrells, along with homemade rootbeer ice cream. I went to four stores looking for rootbeer ice cream. They didn't have it, so we ended up doing homemade. It was pretty worth it though! Yum!




The best gifts come in small packages (cash!)



Doesn't my niece have the cutest smile?

Wow! 844 piece Lego Set. Thanks mom and dad! Actually I don't mind putting together Lego's as long as I can forget about everything else I'm supposed to be doing.



And a few pics of Miss C. She is very loving. If you are a female and talk to her, she will want to give you a hug and have you hold her.

She is into imitating as you can see. Shoes, makeup-she loves it all. As you can see, she is crouching because I am crouching trying to get a good picture of the little pixie.

We switch off babysitting with my friend to help at school and here she is playing with their cutie pie baby.

And St. Patty's day: C made a leprechaun trap and left some cereal in it. It looks like he got caught long enough to leave some gold (Reeses' cups).

He also left everyone a "bucket of gold"...

and some Lucky Charms. C was so excited that he left the trap on the front porch after school and checked every five minutes. But he must have gone home until next year.
