Rainy days and a Leprechaun Trap

Rain rain go away!!! Why must it rain on a weekend? I'll never understand that. Layla wants to slide on her slide. Chance wants to run around outside. I'm not sure about other peoples kids but mine need to go outside on a daily basis. They NEED to and I NEED them too. Oh rainy days that's impossible. On a weekend that's rainy we tend to get a little silly. Staying indoors makes us that way.
Chance had to build a Leprechaun trap for school and it was due today. Although we hated being stuck inside due to the rain, we were able to enjoy the time we spent building a Leprechaun trap. Chance believes his Leprechaun trap will be the best and I almost have to agree :) This was the first time any of us have ever built a Leprechaun trap and I really hope it works. Maybe we'll get lucky and catch a Leprechaun...who knows??


Notice that all our family had some part in building this trap. As we started getting to the more tedious parts of it Layla laid down for a nap. If you've never built a Leprechaun trap before with your kids I urge you to do this next year. It was a lot of fun. Seeing the smile on Chance's face was priceless! The finished product isn't that bad either :)

Chance had a wonderful week at school last week :) YIPPIE!!! He was so proud of himself and what else could a parent ask for? When I dropped him off at school this morning his teacher came out in the hallway as I was leaving and said the most wonderful things about my child. He was well mannered and was so easy to get along with. My heart wanted to explode. I knew my child could be sweet. I knew my child could be good. I also knew I had taught my child manners. How thankful I am that he can now slow down enough to think about the decisions he makes. Way to go Chance!!
The rain kept us inside but we had plenty to keep us busy. Ethan came over for a few hours Saturday and we had fun talking with him. Please remember him in your prayers as he should leave for Texas this week for the final part of his training.

I hope each and everyone had a wonderful weekend and was able to spend quality time with your family. Spend time with your kids and forget the way your house looks. They'll be grown up and gone one day.

Until next time....we love you and God Bless!!!
