3 Girls and a Guy

LUCKY FOR SOME AND NOT FOR OTHERS!!!!

My kids were lucky this morning because I didn't turn anything green.

Adri was lucky because she got a pedicure and nails painted green by mom.

They were also lucky after school because a little visitor stopped by, cleaned their

rooms, and delivered some festive treats. The leprechaun visitor must have known

that McBrides like it clean and not messed up.

After preschool, Kade said there were footprints around his classroom, but he knows his teacher put them there. He was questioning the whole leprachaun thing. Then when he came home to his surprise in his bedroom, he shouted I know it's true. Such a little gesture changed his whole opinion. My kids loved andenjoyed their simple treasures a ton.

When I was a kid, I was not lucky. My dad made green spaghetti and our family didn't eat for a couple of years. I was an unlucky scarred child. I have not attempted feeding my kids green food. Maybe one year they will be lucky or unlucky.

I was lucky because I got to go to Cafe Rio for lunch with a bunch of my favorite girls.

One of the girls was not so lucky because she didn't wear green and an Irish man

spotted her and called her out on it. He was kind of freaky.

Short, red hair, talking about beer and staring at us. Thanks Tawny.

Later that night it was parent teacher conferences. Alex has become to social.

We were a little disappointed with her review. She usually gets all As and

great citizenship. Her grades slipped and so did her citizenship.

Is it the excitement of middle school or what. I hope she refocuses.

She was a little teary eyed when we talked about it after. I know she is capable

better. Abby did awesome. School does not come as easy to her as it does

to Alex. She excelled in her grades and citizenship. She was the star

of the night. Adri is progressing and thats all we ask for. Her teachers

all love her in Resource and in her classroom. She never misbehaves and works hard.

I guess it can't be perfect every time, but I know Big Al had an awakening!!!!

We were unlucky and lucky parents that night.

Alex was not so lucky at parent teacher, but she lucked out going to her first

Young Women's Activity a week early. They had green eggs and pancakes.

They also played several St. Patty's day themed games. She loved it and

said it was so much better than Activity Days. So crazy that she will be gone

every Wednesday night forever now.

We were all lucky because it was a beautiful day and the other kids stayed outside

playing until 8 p.m. Feels like Spring and it was so nice!!!!! Whether you were lucky

or unlucky, we are all lucky to fun times to share with our families!!
