HAPPY ST. PATIRICKS DAY !

ST. PATRICKS DAY

Thatcher woke up this morning to find that a leprechaun had turned his breakfast green...

I thought he would be excited, but he was quite perturbed. He didn't appreciate that a leprechaun would break into our house and turn his eggs green, apparently he doesn't like green eggs!

He's funny because he has been so excited about St. Patricks day for a couple of weeks after learing all about it in school... painting shamrocks and looking for gold at the end of the rainbow.

After I explained to him that the eggs still taste the same, they are just green for St. Patricks Day, he decided to try them and said, Hey! I like green eggs! Now he is happy again and insisted that we all wear green for this special holiday.

So here are the boys decked out in green

We will be keeping a lookout for leprechauns while on our excursions today

The Garners said...: Yeah Yeah Yeah! An update from my favorite blogger! I just have one question for Thatcher...would you like them in a box, would you like them with a fox?

The leprechaun turned our milk green, and Will was amused but in no way would even consider consuming green milk. And frankly, it did look a bit unappetizing! So it became more of a spectacle and less of a beverage.

I also must mention that (a while ago, I know it's been there a while) Patrick and I laughed our butts off at the Thatcher quotes on the side! They rock!

You asked about my bum...it's a long, long, long story. And Patrick and I think we should discuss it over dinner one night. (Seriously the other night we wanted to go to dinner with someone fun, and I was like, "how exactly do we call Jaron and Christina and ask for April's phone number?") So, consider it. Sometime in the near future we should head out for a bite!

I'm glad you guys are feeling better...and updating your blog. Yipee!; March 17, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Becky, yep said...: I made green pancakes but had no such luck getting my boys to eat them! So I cracked open a box of Lucky Charms I bought just for the occasion.

Hope you had a happy one!; March 17, 2008 at 4:29 PM
The Gatherum Family said...: How funny. I didn't dare come out with the green food coloring. I tried "pink" at Valentines and the kids weren't too keen on the idea. Glad to see a new post!; March 17, 2008 at 10:27 PM
The Gatherum Family said...: How fun-you guys will have a blast. We leave in 2 weeks from tomorrow. I can't wait, except I wish I wasn't going all big and pregnant, but what do you do? I plan to lounge and relax by the pool ALL day and catch up on some sleep and reading :); March 18, 2008 at 3:30 PM

Thatcher Quotes

Thatcher was going to Lagoon with my dad and some of his aunts and as they were pulling into the parking lot he looked at all of them and said, "yeah...I'm gonna need some cash".

So yesterday morning I was wearing my glasses before I put my contacts in and Thatch came in and asked me if I was wearing Daddy's glasses. I said no, these are mine. Then he said, "Are you sure? Because you look like a man in those glasses."

Thatcher was singing to himself in his room and I heard him from down the hall in my room and yelled to him, "Why are you so cute?" He yelled back, "Because you treated me like I was cute!"

I put on a hat to go to the park yesterday and when I went in to get Thatcher he said, "nice hat mom, I never knew you could look so cool".

I went to put his seatbelt on him in the car, and he said he could do it himself. I said, are you sure Thatch? You know how to do that? He said, " watch and learn mom.... watch and learn".

Mat was driving and he asked Thatch how he was doing in the backseat. Thatch replied, "just chillin". Mat said, Chillin like a villain? Thatch says, " That doesn't make sense, villains are bad... they don't just chill!"

Last night while my parents were watching Thatcher, he had to go poop and when he was done he called my brother in to wipe his bum. My brother said, Thatcher I don't know how to wipe bums very well. Thatcher replied " You wipe your own bum don't you?"

At dinner while eating pork chops, he took a bite and said, "Mom what is with the chicken?"

I put a tire back on his toy car for him and after I was done he said "wow mom, that's pretty impressive!"

We were in the Target parking lot and he saw a paper cup in one of the parking stalls. He pointed it out to me and I said, that's not very nice is it? referring to littering, and he looked back at the cup and said sadly, "yeah, poor little cup".
