St. Patrick's day

So for St. Patrick's day (which was yesterday! :P lol just thought i'd say that) we had our friends the Coulombes over. So we did our school in the morning then had some lunch and then mom made chocolate, cupcakes while I made some green icing for the cupcakes. Then they came!!! :D :D :D :D :D

The house went to medium to HIGH!!! (Volume wise)!!

The chocolate cupcakes

But before decorating the cup cakes we went on the tramp! This one is one of my fav's 'causes Jenny (on the very right hand side) is in mid-air! :D haha

i don't know what they were doing here!

the weather was awesome! :)

then Jenny decided she had enough bouncing (or being bounced around) and came and sat in my lap!

Then we went inside and did the cup cakes!

Now i'm going to do something very brave and name all of them. Brave of me, eh? :P).

So i'll start with the kid with the red hat and the go right of there!

Daniel S. (<---- S. Means Shonwise C. Means Coulombe)

Jared S.

Jenny C. (you can only see a little pink of her shirt :(..)

Isabelle C.

Christine C. (You can see a little of Christine C. purple shirt)

Melia S.

DeAtra S.

Bridgett C.

Ethan S.

and the two kids at the computer are Liam C. (red hoodie) and Josiah S. (grey shirt).

This was Jenny's

Jenny's again

DeAtra's

Christine's

Then Jenny told me she did some more sprinkles on her 'cake' so I took another picture of her 'cake' :P

Melia's

So we went outside then and walked the dogs, (I and some of the girls did while the boys went and played on the trampoline) then when it was time to leave all of the Coulombe kids were in the van and then within 2 minutes they're van was loaded with three of our Shonwise boys and three of they're girls were in our house. Yup, we traded three girls for three boys! It was fun! After doing supper the girls did whatever and Bridgett and I planned, talked, and went outside, did other things, had cake (from Jared's 9th birthday party) and then went outside again and then went and did some beading. :)

So what did you do for St. Patrick's day?

A big Saturday bonfire and a walk.......

So Saturday we went to some friend who had a bunch of wood to burn. Sorry, but i didn't get some pictures of us hauling the wood to the fire but after the work I took pix. =)

Joey putting some left over wood on!

We had it going like 3 times bigger!

a random picture

the big fire was to hot to roast hot dogs so we built a smaller one in a smaller fire pit! :)

the smaller fire pit

the other one got ignored! But after hot dogs the smaller one was ignored and this one was all fired up again!

Then I went for a walk behind their house! It was SO cool! :D here are some snaps!

Okay the first two pictures have nothing to do with a forest but I still took them! :D

Some steps

Here are the forest pictures! :D

Then I found out this new setting on my camera! It was SO cool! :D

me

I love this new setting on my camera! :D

Okay so the next two I didn't put the setting on. :)

Cool, eh?

Looks like a storm was happening, eh? Well actually the weather was perfect! :)

No storm! It actually drizzled for a little bit then it was clear and sunny again!

babysitting

So i'm going to be posting several post today (if I have time).

So the first is of a little girl I babysat last week. :)

Enjoy the pictures!

Orla acting silly! :P lol

The Dora game we played. It's a lot like trouble, and Sorry.

You needed a 6 to get out.

Orla was blue

and I was purple!

Then we decided to play hide-and-seek.

After counting to 1 minute I started looking for her:

She wasn't under the blanket

or in the kitchen

or under the table (which was where I hid)

or under her bed

she wasn't on her bunk bed

or under her covers

but she was behind her door! :D

(She's covering her mouth 'cause she was trying not to laugh! :D haha

Her mom had a beautiful flower set on her table. I took lots of pictures but i'm not going to bombard you with them all so here are two! :)

And some tea cups Orla had. Again I took lots of pix but these two will be the only ones shared!

Orla's brooch

and some writing I did after Orla was in bed!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! :)
