Happy St. Patricks Day! Here are just a few cute pics of my precious boys celebrating "lucky day" (as David calls it). David wore his Lucky shirt and Zachy was sporting an awesome green shirt as well. I do believe that the green hair is the item that pulled it all together. Don't you? Happy Lucky Day to you!

Grime, slime, tadpoles and a tree frog!
We are lucky to have a really cool nature center about 10 minutes from our house. David's preschool teacher takes the group at least once a month to a program that the center has. Today's program was primarily tromping around in ankle deep mud, netting anything that crawls, swims or jumps around the different "water holes", catching frogs and adopting tadpoles. Zachy and Mommy decided to accompany Buddy and his class on this wild adventure. With Zach in the backpack and with the a total of three 4 year olds, off we went on a muddy adventure. You will see here that David caught a tree frog. He was very excited. So were the other 15 or 20 kids that saw him net it. It was awesome! Zach said "look, look at the frog!" We got VERY muddy but fortunately we dressed for the fun. David and Zach loved the tadpoles and David got to be one of the "assistants" by carrying a big bucket of the tadpoles out for all to see. We DID NOT adopt any of those little guys. ( I reminded David we would be moving soon an wouldn't want to abandon our little friends.) Mud, dirt, grime and slime were the items of the day. Fun was had by all! We are looking forward to finding a nature center somewhere close to us in Colorado!

Skiing Fun
Before the blizzard of March 2009 decended upon Fairfax, VA, we raced up the road to get in a full day of skiing fun at Ski Libery in Pennsylvania. Zachy said, "I want to go play!" as we approached the day care center. Not a tear was shed. David took an hour long ski lesson from Mr. Nick and it seemed like he had just skied the day before! No fear. Up the lift and down the hill! Lots of giggles and smiles. After the lesson, David proclaimed that he wanted to "go to the top to go faster". OK....so to the top we went! He did great! He is a pro. Look out Colorado, here comes David and his skis! Love this kid.

Snoooow! (says Zachy)
Zachy was "broken free" from the daycare for some fun play in the snow. He was so excited when he saw his "choo choo" boots as he calls them. Thomas the Tank Engine boots... pretty cool. He kept saying," I play in snow! I play in snow! I go outside!" as I put his snow suit on him. He loved the snow and called it "ice" several times. He was so cute, playing and rolling around. He would throw himself down in the snow and say, "I fell down! Oh no!" Then laugh aloud. Too cute. Wanted to spotlight the little guy for all to see. Love that boy!

While the skiing was awesome and the daycare for Zachy was fun, nothing could beat my 2 favorite little guys going to the top of a big pile of snow and sliding and rolling down. They played together, rolled around with each other and even threw a few snowballs. The smiles and laughs were abundant. Funny how something so simple can bring such joy....Boys....love them so.
