St. Patty's Day and Spring Break

St. Patty's Day was last week.  We all suited up in our green. 

Brody was worried someone would pinch him... 

Just kidding, he was super excited to wear his shirt Mickey Mouse made for him. 

Star Wars shirt.  Surprise. Surprise.  

And when did he turn twelve?!?!

Brody the Leprechaun at school. 

St. Patty's Day + first day of March Madness = BWW dinner. 

Friday, I checked Mason out of school early (he was so happy to hear his name called out) and we went to the orthodontist.  We are still having trouble with sucking our fingers, and he is also in a crossbite.  We are hoping to fix two birds with one stone with an arch expander.  

Check out those blue eyes.  

He has done very well on trying to quit sucking his fingers this week so we are very hopeful.  He already has the spacers in and goes back next week for bands and impressions.  

He is actually pretty excited.  

We tried out a new Japanese restaurant in the Ville.  

They enjoyed the fish tank and chop sticks more than the food.  

Brody worked on his photography skills while there...

I have no idea why this shocked me, but Mason liked John's sushi....and I'm talking the raw stuff.  

We have been enjoying these sunny days outside.
Here you will find Captain American and a boy with a homemade mustache made out of paper.

Cookie time.

Mason has been on Spring Break all week while the rest of us have been working and going to school.  Good for him, bummer for the rest of us!!!

He and Mickey Mouse met Grandma Judy, Grandma Reba, Grace and Carlo at the zoo.

So fun they had Spring Break the same week and were able to come in town.

Watching a reptile show.
The kids got in the front row....I don't think the grandparents wanted to be close to the snakes.  Ha

"Ya make me wanna roll my window down and cruise"

Mickey Mouse and Mason's adventures continued.  They had Mensi's on the square.
Nothing like  greasy hamburgers and sno-cones.

Brody had an Easter egg hunt and party at school today.

He has talked about how much fun it was all night long.

I mean who wouldn't be excited about all this candy?!?!

We have a fun Easter weekend planned....hopefully not tooooo much more candy in our future!
