Dance Nationals in Vegas!
Kate and her teammates did great at nationals this year – Kate’s third time! Making it extra special was having daddy, Clare and both nanas and papas there to watch.

Clare did so well at her recital!
Kate’s last day of kindergarten festivities
Kate received a “positive attitude” award at the last school assembly. (Hahahah). Nanas Wende and Patti and Papas Frank and Tomy came to watch her kindergarten promotion the next day. The week ended with a fun carnival at school.

This is daddy’s last birthday with ten fingers
Family night
We had a great time cheering on the red knight at Medieval Times!
Ice skating!
We went ice skating for the first time! The girls had a great time and had no fear!
Garage Nightmare
Trying to clean my garage with Clare around is akin to sweeping sand off the beach. She managed to empty every bag and trample every pile. At one point she donned a complete snow suit with snow boots and jacket and then went in to the backyard. I was enjoying this brief respite until I realized it was too quiet. Clare had decided to make “snow” with a bar of soap all over herself and the patio table. You can only whine in defeat over this.
Clare in a Minnie Dress
I have a bad habit of buying adorable clothes for my kids and then never letting them wear them. I gave in today and here is Clare in an adorable Kangacoo original.
Luck of the Irish?
For the past four years or so I have been a loyal customer of *golden* custom sewn tees. They are adorable clothes, mainly t-shits, that are designed by an amazingly creative and talented mom who has now become my friend. I use her to create one of a kind outfits for many special occasions such as birthdays and holidays for my girls.
*golden* recently had a contest where the winner would win a year of adorable shirts – one a month!!!! I never suspected that I could win since she has around 2,500 fans on her facebook page. But, I did!!!! I was so excited! So far, I’ve received Kate’s super cute Hello Kitty birthday tee, V-day tee and beyond awesome St. Patty’s day tee! I’m getting them for Kate so I can hopefully use most of them for Clare eventually. I’m thinking in addition to being a great designer my friend at *golden* is also a savvy business women since I end up purchasing a coordinating tee for Clare as well. :/ I just can’t stand the cuteness!!!
