Farewell

Funny how giant, slobbering, hairy beasts

become attached to your heart! 

You will be missed dear friend!

 

Gathering the Green

Saint Patrick's Day is coming up...

Do you have your green goods ready?
 

 

If you live in Utah,
 Maceys grocery store is a great place to find inexpensive emerald gems.
 

 

Head on over to Bath and Body Works,

and douse yourself with a little luck.

 

I mentioned the Leprechaun bringing Lucky Charms for breakfast a couple posts back.

I recently found this all green edition at Walmart. 

 



 

Or you could always go with the classic,

Green eggs and Ham!



Highlights

Our first day and a half in paradise,

was filled with beautiful views, amazing food and warm breezes.



 

We visited our favorite little spot to eat,

The Sardina Cantina.

 

We drove down to Cabo and hung out at the marina and Medano Beach.



 

 



 

 We dined on mouthwatering cuisine!

 

 

 In the evening we walked along the waves to a little beachside café for dinner.

I'd like to say this was followed by a romantic sunset stroll along the beach.

But it was not.

 

Shortly after our meal we were both overcome with sickness no one should ever have to experience!

The rest of our vacation was spent stuck in the condo,

 snacking on saltines and Sprite, recovering from food poisoning.

 

We did make it out the last couple days to experience a few excursions.

 

I finally became a dolphin trainer, if only for the day.

 



 

And we ziplined across this canyon eight times.

 

Until next time,

Until then I am trying to -

The Legend of the Green Milk

The Legend of the Green Milk

(To be read in a slow, somewhat spooky Irish accent.)

 

Once upon a time, many years ago,

 in a glorious land of rainbows and overflowing pots of gold,

 lived a Leprechaun...

 

He was a very special Leprechaun, and had one important job.

 He'd wait all year round, for the eve of  'the day of the wearing of the green',

 Then...

 

 

Sometime in the wee midnight hour that sneaky little leprechaun

 would invade fridges and iceboxes everywhere,

 and deposit an assortment of items in his favorite hue.

 You know,

 the legend says if you consume green milk,

 delivered by a leprechaun himself,

 on the morning of the emerald sun,

 you will be transformed into one of the little red bearded,

 clover loving, knicker wearing, rainbow lurkers...

 

Proof!

 

What else would the Leprechaun leave?

 Lucky Charms, of course -

 They're magically Delicious!

 

 Some Lucky Leprechaun Brew to chug in honor of Saint Patrick.

 

I used free printable labels from Here .

 

Goodie Bags filled with golden nuggets.

 

I used the free printables from Here .

Marines Birthday Party

I was sorting through pictures last night,

 and came across these of Kolby's birthday party last year.

Boy, a year has whizzed by!

 

Kolby wanted a Marines Birthday Party.

 Lucky for him, we have resident Sgt. Knightmare in the house!

 

We sent the draft notice out to all young men of age.

 

Hung the balloons. Using This technique.

 

Stocked the Armory.

 And prepped the Chow Hall.

Once the soldiers arrived for Bootcamp,

 we issued uniforms, dog tags, and gave each a few tattoos.

 

 

 Then they met with Sgt. Knightmare for the low down.

 

 

They were issued their weapons -

 Single Barrel Marshmallow Shooters.



And engaged in some tactical training exercises. 



 

Unfortunately, we had a few casualties,

 

 Luckily nothing high doses of sugar couldn't fix!

Fun was had by all!

 

Each soldier graduated with honors and was sent home with new skills and a loot bag .

 

A proud 8 year old soldier!
