Little Leprechauns and Buckeyes

Well, coming from and Irish family, it's no surprise that we celebrate St. Patrick's Day. My girls loved getting all greened up and putting on their shamrock tattoos to start the day.
Cead mile failte!

Thursday night dinners are always a rush and usually nothing too healthy since Olivia has to be to dance shortly after we get home. So last Thursday it was green pancakes with green rice krispie treats.

Mia being silly trying on my boots. She has always loved to try on shoes. Doesn't matter who's, she'll wear them all.

Andy was gone to Ohio State University last weekend for a swim meet. The girls and I enjoyed a fun girls' weekend, but were happy upon Andy's safe return. The girls were especially excited that he brought them each home OSU t-shirts.

Mia doesn't always want her photo taken, as was the case in this photo. She's wearing her new shirt that says, "Is it just me? Or do the wolverines stink?" Too funny!

Tonight for dinner Olivia, who loves to be fancy, wanted to have a fancy dinner. She named her restaurant "Chez Rouge," which is French and had the word red in it. She told me the red was for Ohio State and everyone had to dress fancy in either red or Ohio State clothes to get in. As evident in the picture above and below you can see the fancy attire she picked out for both Mia and her. What could be fancier than tap shoes too?
Warning to all parents: Don't let your children wear tap shoes at the dinner table!
The picture below is the end result. Thankfully we were economical when we bought new chairs at the end of last summer. Had I sprung for some expensive ones I might be a bit more upset.

Your girls are just adorable. I can't believe that tap shoes really do a number on wood chairs! Good to know for future dancers that may come to be. I'm not a fan of the Ohio State shirts, but if any thing can make it better it's your girls!
