Leprechaun Houses and other stuff

For St. Patrick's Day, we usually make leprechaun latters that the kids hang next to their bedside so the leprechaun will bring them chocolate pieces of gold. This year, I decided to try something new. We made leprechaun houses to lure the little green guy in and hopefully, he'll leave his gold. The kids made the houses very inviting, some with even beds inside.

Last night, Ben's sweet tooth got the best of him. I thought he was going to ACE hardware to get a tool. He comes home with donuts and popcorn to make popcorn balls. The kids were a fan.

So, the kids made green popcorn balls and they are yummy!

Other stuff. . .

Ben is in Utah right now on an assignment from Pixar. Pretty cool huh? He was asked to go to BYU and help out with recruiting and mentoring. He is also staying with his family and hanging out with them. I'm excited for him to have this little break.

(P.S. Ben, I tried to make your eyes pop in this picture in Photoshop. You look crazy.)

Zoey has gotten two teeth and has said her first words as of last week. It was out of the blue. One day she was making noises like this, "Ahhhhhh, Naaww" and seriously the next day, she was saying,"Dada and Mama". Pretty cool.

She is also fascinated with I-Pods. I hope she doesn't ask for one for her birthday.
