Exciting times....

So, Mike was gone one night and I'm sitting at the table after the kids are asleep and hear this rustling noise outside. I instantly was convinced someone was trying to break in, grabbed my phone, ran to the kitchen and called Mike in a panic. He calmly said, "Well, are the doors locked?" To which I frantically replied, "YES!!" To make a long story short, I turned off the inside lights, turned on the outside lights to our patio, and got the courage to peak out the window through a tiny slit in the blinds...thinking that someone could be staring right back at me. Then I found this little creature...

This was my first time face to face with an oppossum...they are beautiful things to behold.

Here was our festive St. Patrick's Day dinner...green eggs and ham!! Loved it. To go along with St. Patty's day, Caleb was SOOO excited that in preschool he found the pot of gold that the leprechaun left. He spent the rest of the day looking outside for leprechauns, and lo and behold, when we came back from soccer, there were leprechaun footprints all over our house! Wow.
I asked Max to make Eden happy, and this is what he came up with. He got some good laughs out of Eden and was calling himself "Diaper-head Max".
Uncle Gregg came to visit!! It's like Christmas when we get visitors back here. :) It is GREAT to see family...even if it's only for a couple of hours! The boys kept asking, "Is he going to tickle me?"
AND we got to have Devin and McKell come party for a day as well on their drive across the country! The Sorensen's definitely win on the visiting contest (beside Grandma, of course). I think my brothers are going to come in dead last...better luck next time. :)
Eden's first time in the swing...
And she fell asleep...
The "pebbles' pony tail"...
Hangin' out in sweats looking outside...
And, my personal favorite.... The bottoms to her PJs happened to all be dirty, but it was too cold to let her crawl around without anything, thus, this outfit while the pants dried.
Enjoying the zoo with dad and friends...
Max's little grin...
We brought home another tiger, a cute little doggy named 'Bolt', and a dolphin...
