St. Patty's Day 2012

Yet another holiday not really celebrated by kids here in Belgium. It's okay, lucky the leprechaun sill managed to find our house all the way over here :).

The day before Kherington and I made some delicious rainbow cupcakes. The colors turned out very vibrant. I've made a goal not to keep too many sweets around (but I still love to bake...not the best combo), so dropped some off at different friends houses. I think this was one of (if not the) first time Kevin had a cupcake...he loved it! Apparently this was prep for his birthday.

Lucky left the kids a fun breakfast (lucky charms...plus he peed in the milk and made it turn green). With breakfast there were sticker pages and paper for the kids AND some sweet sunglasses (he might have reused those from last year). Of course no holiday is complete without balloons! Kevin and Kherington had a fun time having sword fights with the balloons on the stick.

*St. Patrick's day is also Grandma Finley's birthday...Kherington walked around pretty much the whole day singing to her.

iPad Contest

Ryan's work mailed us a picture frame and a note saying to take a picture, post it, and the top 3 pictures with the most likes would win and iPad. I kept the frame out, then I look over to see Ryan taking the recycling and the frame was in the pile. I told him I thought we should do it because I would bet that most people would do exactly what he was going to do, just toss it (a work gathering confirmed my thoughts). So for FHE we walked down to the last stop on the bus route near us where buses are always parked and snapped a picture. I think it is pretty darn cute, but that won't make us win. We need your help.

We need you all to go to facebook and like our picture, then share it and ask your friends to like it too. Ryan's work had a competition like this that ended last week and the winners had between 700 and 1000 likes. Right now we are at 260 so we have a ways to go. I figure it's not just who we know, it's who our friends know and who they know and so on (getting outside our circle).

HELP US PLEASE
To help us out, click here. Login to your facebook and like our picture. Then *and this is key* share the picture and ask your friends to like and share also.

The competition ends April 15th which happens to be right between Kevin and Kherington's birthday's (not to say we would give them the iPad, but I know plenty of kids who love to play different games).

Thanks for your help!
