Wow- our days have been full, and we've been them. Here is just a taste to catch you up.
Basketball. Chloe has never enjoyed playing any sport, but basketball may just be her sport. She's still all about socializing and making friends on the court (during a game), but hey....we're all a work in progress, right?
Cooper has taken to writing. He learned his letters and all their sounds INCREDIBLY fast upon arriving home, but recently has begun writing. I left the room the other day and came back to this:
I thought that was pretty creative. I helped him spell "love" in this next sentence, but didn't know what he was writing till he told me to come look.
"I love mom." Yep....his first written sentence. He knows how to kiss up! :) Turns out that he also is a crazy puzzle fanatic, and he is unbelievably good at it. His concentration is amazing. He is NOT a quitter (as if I didn't already know that!).
Saturdays at 8:00am, where do we go? Ballet. Oh my. 8:00am....what was I thinking? But, Chloe really enjoys it. Good thing too, because it is at 8:00 AM on a SATURDAY.
We've also been working on Chloe's room. She wanted a "Paris" themed room, and I was happy to oblige. It isn't completely done yet, but for my first (ever) DIY project, I made her a changeable art gallery (a la The Louvre) for her room. This girl LOVES to create artwork, and she needed a place to hang her masterpieces. Now, she has it:
In between all that, we enjoyed a nice, traditional St. Patrick's Day. My 100% Irish dad might finally be proud because we made corned beef and cabbage. Scot is a great cook, so he even created his own recipe for sauteed cabbage with carrots, and it was delicious! (There is bacon in there too...yum!)
I handled dessert: Pot O' Gold cupcakes. Making them made me happy! The kids loved them too!
Next up....a post about Easter! :)

Thanks for the update! That Cooper always was such a smart kid... not surprised at all that he knows how to kiss up to his mama! :) Love the pictures of chloe in her ballet class. *sigh* I miss those ballet days....
Blessings,

Love the cupcakes. You are so creative. WOuld love Scot's recipe! Sounds yummy.
Totally stealing the cupcake idea for next year! That's TOO CUTE!
The rainbow is "Airheads extreme" candy, but I have to say that they didn't work as well as they LOOK like they worked. They weren't stiff enough. People online suggested creating your own rainbow from regular airheads candy, but I was WAY too lazy to do that! :)
