A VERY BELATED ST. PATRICK'S DAY

(We have been having technical difficulties with our computer, so I am a little behind, sorry...)


Corinne had to make and demonstrate a leprechaun trap for school on St. Patrick's Day. Since I have almost zero creativity, I put Tyson in charge of this one.

Corinne was told that leprechauns love things that are shiny and sparkly (just like Corinne!), that they are very little, and that they are sneaky and like to break the rules (not like Corinne).





The idea was that the sneaky little leprechaun would see the gold coin and climb the ladder (made by Tyson) to get to it. Then he would fall through the green tissue paper on top and end up stuck in the (kleenex) box!


(Doesn't she look cute in this picture?)

This was our first project (of many, I'm sure) where the parents stayed up late doing most of the work! Corinne did decorate it, and it turned out great.

COUSINS

Last weekend we went to visit my parents and my sister's family. For some reason when I am there, I seem to only take pictures of these two:





Since it is next to impossible to get these girls to sit still for more than 2 seconds, much less to sit still at the same time, I decided to snap a quick picture while they were both on my lap reading a book.



As you can see, Allison is not quite as talented at cheesing it up for the camera as her cousin!
