Green milk, ring pops and legos!

March 17th
Right in line with our desire to be home for all holidays (haha), William was discharge two days before St. Patrick's Day.  We had a really fun day filled with green foods and finding some mischievous doings of a little leprechaun who apparently snuck in our house the night before (at least according to Nicholas).

Green is hands-down Nicholas' favorite color.  He loved adding food coloring to our morning milk and mixing away....but heaven forbid he drink his green concoction!  It sure took a lot of enticing to get him to eventually try it.

Our little leprechaun left a few trinkets for the boys.


After the tiniest of sips, Nicholas realized, "It still tastes just like regular milk!"
...and he was back for seconds....


KISS ME
....even if I'm not Irish!


The leprechaun's ring pops were a huge hit!




Nicholas' Lego assembly skills are rather impressive for a 4-year old...perhaps even a touch scary.  He put this city repair truck together with minimal assistance.  He's already talking about going to Lego conventions.

An afternoon topped off with ring pops and Legos makes one special memory for this momma and two boys!
