St. Patty's, Crawfish, and a Birthday

I had to start off by showing what Henry gave the sweet couple that keeps him.  We just love Charles and Mimi!

Charles said he was going to take the framed picture down to "show the guys!"

Wow!  Our St. Patrick's Day was a busy one!  We also had a ton of family fun.  We started off the morning with an everything green breakfast.  Bennett, Henry, and I made green pancakes with green glaze and green sprinkles.  Talk about delicious.  We even dyed Henry's oatmeal green!  Bennett helped with that and got a little "squeeze happy" with the food coloring bottle.  Henry's meal was by far the greenest and so were his diapers for the rest of the day.  We were excited that Leslie joined us for breakfast...too bad I didn't get a picture of her! :(

mmmmm green milk!

nothing like a green milk mustache with a side of green pancakes, green apple, and kiwi
We had a soccer game after breakfast that was a total bust for Bennett.  He was just not interested.  I am shocked because he can dribble the soccer ball all over our yard.  I think he just doesn't like the "other team taking the ball away from him" aspect of the game.  We went to lunch at Another Broken Egg for Janine's (AKA Nana) birthday.  She is a St. Patty's Day baby.


This is what the boys gave her for her birthday.

Andrew hosted a crawfish boil at his house on Saturday.  Andrew is pretty darn funny with is planning.  His boil was starting at 2 pm and he didn't even come get a pot from us until noon.  He didn't even have the crawfish until Rebecca picked them up from Ruston and brought them over!  hilarious.  We enjoyed fun and friends for a bit before we headed to Georgia's 4th birthday party!

The gymnastics party was tons of fun.  It wasn't boring at all!  The kids loved it and were busy the entire time.  Henry and Evie even had a little spot of the ground to play.
