Another Week Begins...

Here we are at the start of another week. Five weeks over with already. It seems to have flown by, but then at other times, it feels as if it is still January. This might have something to do with how bitter cold it is outside today. This is the kids last week of school before March break. The count down is on. They are looking forward to having a week off of school. Me, not so much. On the bright side, Nana and Poppa arrive at the end of next week, just in time for
St Patrick's Day. Libby is thrilled, as it just wouldn't be a holiday without family here to celebrate. She is concerned however, that Daddy won't be getting any green beer. Little does she know, Daddy won't be getting any beer, green or otherwise for another 4 months. She felt marginally better when I told her we could celebrate St Patrick's Day in July in Ireland with Daddy. Though the beer won't be green, I'm sure Daddy could probably force himself to gag down a Guinness or too as part of our belated celebrations. For now, she's making do planning our little celebration. She's already planning the wardrobes, decorations (apparently I've got some signs to paint this week), and food. I'm just planning on the Bailey's, lots and lots of Bailey's.

So Katherine was up at 6 am combing her own hair. I am pleased to report there were no tangles or screaming. Hallelujah! Everyone noticed the new hair do at school today. And they were all suitably impressed. Even the teacher noticed, and complimented her on it. She was chuffed as chips when she got home today. She most enjoyed being the star of the show. Don't know where she gets that from.
