St. Patty's Day & Spring Break

I have a lot of pictures from this week to share today! The girls were on Spring Break this week, so we were able to get in a few extra 4-wheeler rides. Marshall is super busy with work lately, so we mainly just hung around the house and worked around his schedule.

The only un-fun thing we did was on Wednesday. The girls had their final blood draw. This one was at Winter Haven Hospital because of the nature of the test. I don't know the medical specifics, but it was a lactic acid test, and the tubes in which the blood is drawn are special; they have an additive in them and they have to tested pretty quickly after the blood is taken. The girls did a great job, and the nurses did a great job. This made Reese's 3rd draw and Paige's 4th...I am SO over having them poked with needles! Marshall and I go on March 28th for all the results, as well as the chelation tests results.

Anyway, here are the pics from the week...










I can't believe this kid is still small enough for onesies! She sure doesn't look three. Maybe if she would STOP digging around in her diaper she could stop wearing them! She has NO concept of the potty...that's another saga in itself. Sigh.


St. Patty's Day 4-wheelin' & running around :)












Yesterday was also another dress-up night for Marshall and me. Last weekend it was our anniversary, and yesterday was the annual Our Children's Academy St. Paddy's Day Gala. This is our third year attending. It's a huge silent & live auction, dinner, and performances by some of the students at the school. Last year, $140,000 was raised. Marshall donated 20 hours of his design services, and one of our friends bid on it! Papa Gary also donated a week's stay at his cabins in Tennessee. It was a great night and we got to see a lot of old friends, new friends, and so many wonderful faces from OCA.


I can't believe I posed like this...yes, I am cheesy. Hey...I usually walk this earth in sweaty gym clothes & spin shoes or jeans & flip flops. It was nice to get dressed up again! I was kind of excited at the thought of a night among adults :)


Back to the girls...Reese has some really cute new St. Patty's pajamas! She liked them, even though these faces don't say it.




Yet another 4-wheeler ride...






Awwwww..... don't let her fool you. She had just finished throwing a temper-tantrum because it was time to put the 4-wheelers up. She went from Paige to RamPaige in five seconds flat!


Whew...that was a lot of pics! I'm finished for this week. Have a good one!
