Hosanna!  Hosanna!  He comes in the name of the LORD!

happy st. patrick's day

as st. patrick's day was approaching, the kids asked if they could make leprechaun traps.  use your creativity and engineering skills while being resourceful?  YES, please make leprechaun traps!

grace designed a shoe store with a need of a new employer...i wonder if there are any leprechauns looking for a cobbling job?!?

carter man was just giving away free gold!  i mean, what leprechaun doesn't want more gold?!?

this morning, unfortunately, we didn't find any trapped leprechauns.

but, someone had tried to get some gold!

freckles o'rainbowchaser did leave us a magically delicious breakfast, some green treasures, and chocolate coins!!!

the crazy day ended with green shamrock quesadillas, rainbow fruit kabobs, and...

...magical shamrock potion!!!

winter jam was fun and loud! 

a reminder that Jesus is our Passover Lamb and He is worthy!!!

business time...our yearly review meeting of responsibility contracts.

spring is in the air!

and that means tornado season.  ugh!!!  glad i cleaned out my closet.
