I have such good intentions of blogging every day. Then the day is gone and then 2 days, and so on. I'm behind in lots of projects right now, though it matters to no one but me. 

One thing I am not behind on is St. Patrick's Day! In the last issue of Family Fun magazine they had a cute story about how the leprechauns will come to your house to try to steal your gold and if you set a trap you might catch one! In the process, they leave green items behind. They are tricky little creatures, though, and may not be caught by the trap. Georgia ate up the story and couldn't wait to get started building her leprechaun trap. With a little help from daddy to make it work, we have it set up on our kitchen table. The leprechaun is going to turn the bagels I bought for breakfast green (luckily I was able to purchase green bagels from a local restaurant) and the little leprechauns also managed to turn the cream cheese green, too! I wonder if we will catch him? I will definitely have to post tomorrow with pictures of the trap & green items!

So, on to the recap of the last week for my Project 365:

3/9  Monday:

I took the girls to the new library that recently opened near us. They have an awesome children's section and lots of fun activities planned. On this Monday, we went to Crafternoon - an arts & crafts class where they made some St. Patrick's day themed items. Before class we had to check out some books, of course.

3/10 Tuesday:

R and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary today. I blogged about that already, so I will just leave it at that. I am going to use a photo from our wedding day for the Project 365 album. Also on this day, Irelyn hosted her very first play date at our home. We've had other friends over, but this one was just for her! She was super excited about it.

3/11 Wednesday:

Another play date - this time with a friend of Georgia's from school and his sister who is Irelyn's age. So much fun and of course we had to take some silly pictures before they left!

3/12 Thursday:

I had a nagging headache all day today and really didn't have the opportunity to take a memorable photo. This week has also been Teacher Appreciation week at the preschool and I have been at the preschool every day this week helping out. I also worked this evening, as usual, but didn't leave work until 10pm. Had to get all of the gift cards for the teachers ready for the luncheon on Friday when I got home from work, so I took a picture of that.

3/13 Friday:

Finally Friday! Georgia's last soccer practice of the season:

Of course, now she wants to play in the Spring League but we are too late to sign up. Originally when it was sign-up time, Georgia wasn't sure if she wanted to continue playing. Now she does. We'll just have to wait until the fall and keep practicing with her through the summer.

3/14 Saturday:

Woke up to this:

Georgia and Irelyn had set up this sweet tea party. Notice the "fancy" writing on the chalk board. So sweet!

After our tea party breakfast, we headed to the last soccer game. Georgia scored 2 goals!! I actually had tears in my eyes because I was so proud and happy for her. She scored the very first goal in the first game and hasn't scored since. She was super proud of herself! After the game, we headed over to a local park with the rest of the team to have a pizza party and cake. They all received trophies, too.

3/15 Sunday:

I headed down to the outlet mall in Ellenton for some much needed shopping.

Finally, 3/16 Monday:

Just a quick photo of the girls playing Legos with R after dinner tonight.
