So I am really on a roll here, today being day 2 as an official blogger. I am getting my blogging done as Owen takes his NICE LONG nap (bless him!) and the other three are at school. I realized something as I sat down to write. I dont know anything about blog ettiquette. I mean, how far back can you go with a blog, so as to provide a bit of "catch up" for the readers? Is it tacky to put too many pictures of your cute kids on? Actually, I wont pay  much mind to that second one, as I have always been shameless when it comes to sharing my children. I mean, who doesnt want to see Owen with his face covered in yogurt? And Ryan working so hard at school and Katie when she first gets her glasses and Ethan....and....and.....

So, without any formality or further ado, I will just jump right in.

Today is St. Patricks Day. I will admit, I am not a fan. I mean, really...you wear green or you get pinched? So that should be fun? Lets call a duck a duck here, its a drinking and partying holiday, and since any traces of those days are long and well behind me, my St. Patricks celebration consists of allowing the unthinkable in my house: Lucky Charms cereal. YUK! The sugar content alone is enough to gag me but then there are those mystery marshmallows, CRUNCHY marshmallows, with all sorts of food dye. But, when in Rome, so the kids awoke to the news that they have a pass to eat Lucky Charms for breakfast. All was good in this hood for the morning...and I am sure that sugar kick got them through at least half the day at school....

A typical day, however, when we are not Lucky Charming, consists of the moments I have become most fond of. Nothing "special" going on, just life and all of its mini-adventures on a daily basis over here. For instance, do you know what is better than any store bought toy out there? The BIG box from daddys new lawn mower, magically transformed by four wild minds into a drive thru restaurant. Katie and Ryan were already off to school for this photo, but Ethan and Owen were testing out the new eatery.
