Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had a great day. Calvin came over and hung out with us in the morning. We have been having great weather around here, so Calvin, Evie and Jeff played outside, while I took Bella to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 at the movie theater (cheap kids' movies at the theater during Feb and March) We had told her it was coming up before we knew Calvin was coming over and she still said she wanted to go to the movie. (90% of her just wants to go to movies for the popcorn).

Later that day I took the girls to Hy-Vee. I was looking at bread which is the same aisle as cereal and Bella exclaimed "Mommy, I see something. Those are my FAVORITE." She's pointing at Lucky Charms. They actually sounded good to me and it was St. Patrick's Day so I said "Sure, let's get them". Bella said "Is tomorrow another stay at home day?" I said "Yes". She replied, "ok, I'm going to eat those for breakfast tomorrow". And I said, "fine". It had been a couple of years since the Lucky Charms incident (watching that video again brought tears of laughter to my eyes) We seriously haven't purchased a box since.

So, this morning Bella comes into our room saying her tummy hurts because it is so hungry. Neither Jeff or I want to get out of bed. I remember the Lucky Charms and tell Jeff that's all she really wants and to go pour her a bowl. I was right, that was all she had on her mind. Later, when it was actually breakfast time Bella said she wanted to eat lots more Lucky Charms and Jeff declared only 1 bowl a day and she had already had one. So, we talked her into Cheerios. Evie, of course, was listening to the whole conversation and declared she needed Lucky Charms as well, so I added a few into her Cheerios.
