Accident Prone?

I just have to say that two car accidents in six months (with me driving in both even!!) is way too many for me....or anyone, for that matter.  Thankfully, none of us have been hurt and it was never me at fault.  Still, this is not the most convenient time for us to have our car totaled. *sigh*  I'll try to get pictures of our poor Taurus in the morning, before they tow it away.

Rainbow Brite

This, while being fabulously eighties reminiscent (especially when she wears legwarmers!), is currently my favorite dress.  It's like my own little rainbow and pot of gold all wrapped into one.

We made a leprechaun trap, but those pesky leprechauns got out.  Lucky for us, they left us some gold and candy.  Even better for mommy, Sydney didn't even ask to eat a piece of candy for several hours after finding her treasure.

Writing

We've been working on writing her name. Besides the fact that she mixes up where the "N" and the "E" go, she's doing really well.

Mardi Gras

So, we're not big on Mardi Gras (Charles has a thing against immorality, the spoilsport. :0)) But, Sydney and I just had to make up some cupcake in Mardi Gras colors.  They were delicious, and very colorful.

Babysitting

Three-year-olds and puzzles are meant to be.  We have a rotating babysitting deal set up and these three just loved doing puzzles...which was a nice break from the craziness of them running around for an hour.

Plus, I got to hang out with this little cutie!

Pancakes

It was free pancake night at IHOP.  We had fun eating out together.

The best part for Sydney was meeting a "real, live princess."  Better known as a local beauty pagent winner.

Quick walk

It was warm this morning, so we went out for a walk.

Taking pictures with mommy is fun.

What you don't see is that in the afternoon, it was in the fifties.  Heavenly, considering the freezing temperatures and snow last week.
