Life with the Cardalls: St. Patricks Day 2011

Aren't holidays just the best when you have kids around?

It won't be long before St. Patricks Day will be just another day in the week like it used to be to me but while I have a little one it sure is fun to celebrate in new and creative ways. I find myself buying holiday decor for my house that in the past I would have easily passed up but Eden always reminds me that we need to decorate and make the most of the holiday!!!

We had our traditional green pancake breakfast and then headed to Eden's best preschool friend's house for a little party.

They searched for gold coins that the leprechauns had hid in the yard, played "hot potato" which is a traditional Irish game, ate green food and treats, and decorated shamrock cookies.

Showing off their gold!!!

We even made this cute headband and green jewelry at our cousins house the Saturday before. Eden was all over finding every green piece of clothing in her possession for the special day!

"Out of the mouth of babes"

While driving past our old home and pointing it out to Eden she said, "Mom, you bought our new house because of the dishwasher, huh?" (Mar.2011)

One day as I allowed Eden to lick the cake batter off the mixing spoon, I started to wash the bowl out in the sink. She asked, "Why does the sink get to lick the bowl and not me?" (Nov. 2010)

"We need to get a microscope and then our piano will be bigger!" (April 2010)

After feeding her fish one evening, Eden looked up and said, "Ahhh, he's a cute little fella." (April 2010)

When we were flying in an airplane to Florida and were up above the clouds, Eden glanced out the window and asked "Are we flying upside down?" (Mar. 2010)

"When dad comes home from the hospital, his heart will be all fixed. The workers will work on it for 5 minutes and then he can jump on the tramp!" (Aug. 2009)

My sister took Eden to the restroom and Eden commented that it was stinky in there. She then said "There must have been some boys in here." (Apr. 2009)

Eden was putting her play make up on me one evening. She said " You will look like a scary monster soon." Then she proceeded to put some pink gooey gloss in my eyebrows and said" Now your eyebrows look good and spooky". (Jan.2009)

"Mom.... when I get married in the temple, will you come? Daddy is going to be my prince. We will have to find you another prince, ok?"

I was rubbing Eden's back one night and my hands were a little cold. She promptly noticed and said "Go warm your hands up in the microwave and come back".

"When I get bigger mom I will drive your car and when you get little you can sit in my car seat when I drive."
