"But Mom, what if a train comes?"

Harry Potter Party, etc.

Kathleen did a report on Cleopatra and got to dress up and do a "live museum".  She was so cute.
 The kids all outgrew their old bikes, so it was time to pass them down again.  Unfortunately, Kathleen's bike was pink.  So we decided to paint it black and give it to Brandon.  He was so excited about the whole thing and really had a ton of fun with the project.
 Kathleen went on a field trip to the "Birds of Prey".  I got to go with her.  It was super fun.

 Kathleen lost another tooth.
 Ryan is on the other side of the world.  So the kids liked to send him pictures.  Here is one that they posed for to send to Daddy.
 Since dad was gone we decided to have a Harry Potter party.  I don't know why we decided this, but we had fun doing it.
 We watched the movie too.

 More of Kathleen's Cleopatra project:
 We had our annual St.Patrick's Day green dinner.
 When dad is gone, mom goes a little crazy with the meals.
 Pumpkin pasties for the Harry Potter party (okay, so these pictures are in total random order.  Sorry).
 Corned beef & cabbage grilled sandwiches (in honor of Ron, who ate corned beef sandwiches on the train to Hogwarts).
 We made homemade wands.  The kids LOVED it.
