St. Patrick's Day

I have never been into the whole St. Patrick's Day holiday, but the kids think it is fun to wear green.  Jonah told Wyatt and Hallee they had to wear green!  I love how they look so similar in this picture.  They both have squinty eyes like me when they smile. 

My sisters and my mom came over that day.  The kids get so excited when they come over.  We were waiting in the front room so Wyatt could look out the window.  We started reading books and then Wyatt picked a book that had a bunch of songs in them.  Wyatt and Hallee started singing the ABC's together, it was so cute.

Wyatt picked out these masks at the craft store last week.  He had fun making them.  He has to cut everything.  He cannot do any type of art without cutting something.

Wyatt is so funny.  He can be stubborn and difficult, but he is the sweetest, funniest kid when he wants to be.  He makes me laugh and gives me hugs all of the time. 

Hallee, Hallee, Hallee!  I don't know what I am going to do with her.  She is hilarious.  She says the funniest things and loves to play with her stuffed animals.  I love to listen to her talk to her stuffed animals.  She calls them her friends.  Hallee is definitely my hardest two-year-old so far.  She is so stubborn and will not budge on things.  It seems like she is constantly screaming and upset about something.  We send her to her room when she screams and she always comes out and says sorry after.  I think the combination of Hallee and Wyatt is the hardest thing.  They are both very particular and want things done a certain way, so they spend a lot of time fighting with each other.  There are those sweet moments when they play wonderful together though.  Hallee is constantly saying something hurts.  When she gets upset she will immediately say something hurts.  Hallee is so much fun, but she is a lot of work!

This picture sums up Hallee and Wyatt pretty well.  Most of the time only one of them is happy.  Hallee also loves to tease and isn't deterred by screaming or crying.  Siblings!

Wyatt and Rockwell played outside all afternoon and Wyatt was so dirty when he came in.  I had to put him straight in the bath because he was covered in dirt.  When Jonah got home from school he helped Wyatt get his old track shirt so they could match.

That night we had the missionaries over for dinner.  The kids love when we have green food on St. Patrick's Day, so we had green eggs and pancakes.  We had whipped cream and strawberries on the pancakes, yum!  The sisters were a lot of fun to have over.  My kids loved showing off for them.  Caitlyn was the one who was the biggest show off this time.  The missionaries thought she was pretty funny!

The kids always have fun playing outside.  I love to see Caitlyn out there.  For a while she wouldn't play outside and just wanted to be inside all of the time.  She is seriously the best big sister ever.  She is a natural with kids and always knows how to make everyone feel special.

I snapped this picture the other day just because Wyatt looked so cute.

I love this one of Wyatt and Rockwell at grandma's.

They had a jar of taffy at the library and you could guess how many pieces of taffy were in the jar.  Wyatt guessed exactly right.  I told him that he won so he would get all of the candy and he said, "and I get the jar!"  It is a pretty nice jar!  He was so excited and they made a big fuss over him at the library.  He has been sharing it with everyone.  He loves that he can tell everyone how many pieces they can have.
