Did you do anything fun? Green pancakes? Gold coins left by leprechauns?
I didn’t.
I know. Bad Mom. I figured the school would do something.
However, I did ensure that my kids wore green so they wouldn’t get pinched. Tommy went to school in a green polo.
Natalie went to school in this:
Yup. She’s wearing heels. Like Suri Cruise. Only Natalie’s are plastic and not $2000. (She did not go to school with the plastic heels.)
The shirt is Gymboree, the skirt is from Gap. Heels from Toys R Us, headband from the dollar spot at Target.
At first she wasn’t keen on taking pictures. She ignored me.
Then I got her to turn around and she was trying hard to act mad.
“I’m not taking anymore pictures today,” she informed me.
Two seconds later she was like, “Guess what? I WILL take pictures!” Her moods change so quickly.
She rushed over and was like, “I’m here!”
Then she asked if I was going to run into the side of the house to get her to smile.
“Not today. How about we smile just because we want to? You have to practice. School pictures are Monday and you can’t very well ask the photographer to run into a wall,” I explained.
Natalie is like, “Um. This is not computing…so this means no running into the side of the house to get me to smile?”
“Show me how you’re going to smile for the photographer!” I urged.
Um.
“Natalie, you have to open your eyes.”
“Er....while it’s awesome to have fun, when it’s time for school pictures you need to just smile.”
“Yes, like that.”
She started to dance to beat of her own drum.
And then she started to smile on her own. I mean, yes, I might have had to make farting noises but still....
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Celebrate with a Shamrock Shake from McDonalds. Or if green milkshakes aren’t your thing, go with chocolate. You can never go wrong with chocolate.
Love the outfit. She is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI decided, as an honor to St. Patrick, once the day-madness has ended (why didn't anyone remind me I have to CLEAN the flat if my sister comes to visit???), I will empty the bottle of Absinthe. It may be French, but at least it is green.
She is adorable as always! If it were not for the diet I would so get a shamrock shake today! Enjoy yours!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. The Girl and I are on year three of our shirts from Target. Good thing for both of us that I buy things big! :) Of course, no one will see mine because I am home with a sick boy today :(
ReplyDeleteCute outfit! I think green pancakes are a great idea for supper tonight.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteI've totally dropped the ball on this one.
what a fun outfit! she is so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love Natalie's closet! And totally random question: What kind of camera do you have? I always like your picture quality!
ReplyDeleteShe is too cute! I had a shamrock shake the other day, so good! Love them! Happy St. Patty's day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful girl sporting her green with pride! Have a wonderful day!! :)
ReplyDeleteshe is so freakin adorable. total model material.
ReplyDeleteThat kid is so cute, I'd pinch her cheeks even if she WAS wearing green!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patty's Day!
OMG, she's the cutest thing EVA! I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Paddy's!
Wow! She really looks like Tommy in these pictures. I never noticed how much they look alike until today.
ReplyDeleteShe's perfectly spirited for the day. So adorable!
ReplyDeleteShe definitely won't get pinched!
ReplyDeleteI know I say this EVERY time we get a natalies closet post. But AAASACCCCCCCCKKKK! I can NOT take her utter adorability. It's just too great!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the skirt. So, SO cute! Look at you go with your Shamrocky self. My kids are currently sitting in brown and blue and pink, no green to be found. However, we're not going anywhere and come to think of it, I'm not sure they own any green. Hmmmm, problem.
I love seeing into her closet. :)
ReplyDeleteNatalie is so cute!!! Really, you could pay for her college tuition if you let her model. I'm sure GAP Kids and Gymboree would LOVE for her to model their clothes!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI didn't do anything "fun" either, but I did manage to find a green shirt for me to wear. :o)
Seriously cutest outfit ever!!
ReplyDeleteThe last few years I sort of bagged on St. Pats too.
But this year, I'm going all out.
Lucky Charms for breakfast - they're magically delicious don't ya know!
I packed them a very green filled lunch.
And dinner tonite - green eggs and ham.
'Cause I'm awesome like that!
She's so cute. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a little doll baby! What a cute St. Patty's outfit!
ReplyDeleteAw, your daughter is beautiful. And much better dressed than my own daughter, who didn't own anything green except for a green and yellow striped tank top (I know, right? Green and yellow. Ew.) that I had to pull out from the deep recesses of her closet and it's about two sizes too small, as it turns out.
ReplyDeleteBut, we are making green mashed potatoes tonight for supper, and green parfaits for dessert, so hopefully I can redeem myself there.
Love it! Both my boys actually decided not to rebel out and wore green t-shirts today.
ReplyDeleteI tried that Shamrock Shake a couple of weeks ago. Pure awesomeness.
She is so adorable! And I love her green outfit- presh!! Suri heels and all :)
ReplyDeleteAww, she is too cute. I love her outfit. I didn't do a single thing for St Patrick's Day. I still have a hard time getting into it, coming from England where no one celebrates it.
ReplyDeleteShe's a doll. I had 2 sick kids at home. I made rice krispie bars. That's it! I'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteLove her outfit! See now this is what kids are for! lol Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteBoy, you do have cute kids.
ReplyDeletelove the outfit :)
Absolutely adorable!!
ReplyDeleteLast year I made green shamrock shaped waffles. They. were. awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe kids refused to eat them.
I sent them to school in their Celtics jerseys, and called it a day.
Bad Mom. I know. :)
Seriously your daughter is the cutest thing ever. She should be a model.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of her making a face.
What a cutie...you have good pics right there, so if she does not smile for the school pics, print your own:)
ReplyDeleteI agree w/Phillipia. You got some great shots. School photos always turn out bad, just print these.
ReplyDeleteaw! natalie is soooo adorable! <3
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is very sweet and adorable as can be!!
ReplyDeletethat outfit is so adorable
ReplyDeleteOh My God---she is the most adorable little girl ever! She is so stinking cute! And the fact she posed for the camera is a total bonus--mine stick out their tongue out and act like I'm killing them with the flash.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute outfit! She is always so adorable in her outfit pics!
ReplyDeleteI so need one of those shamrock shakes...havent tried it before but it sounds so good!
Adorable!!! Beats green pancakes any day. :D
ReplyDeleteShe is so stinkin' cute! I know she's the best-dressed girl in her class. You HAVE to post her school picture. You just HAVE to!
ReplyDeleteI think I need a direct link to anything you might sale of her clothes on Craig's List or eBay.With Baby Girl on the way, I need her to look cute. I figure you've done all the hard work. . . right?
ReplyDeleteLOL! It looks like you both had fun. I didn't do anything for St Pats day...
ReplyDeleteNatalie looks cute in her Green Outfit...Belated Happy St. Patrick's day...
ReplyDeleteNatalie looked quite festive. Glad to hear she wasn't pinched.
ReplyDeleteLisaDay
Oh my god. This could be the prettiest baby I've ever seen. She's like child-model material. What a cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteI was a "bad" mom too until I was forced to quickly bake egg-free nut-free peanut-free cookies for my son's whole class because his teach emailed me some parent who owns a bagel shop brought in a green bagels for the whole darn class to share -- except my son who has food allergies. So he wouldn't. He didn't. And my morning was shot.
ReplyDeleteShe's Adorable!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't do anything around here either....I just made sugar cookies with green sprinkles. Oh Boy!
She is just adorable! And quite a little ham. :) I just love that outfit too!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so, so cute! I have that Gap skirt too for one of my girlies and I can't wait to bust it out! You really do take great pictures and you have an adorable subject!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that is one of the cutest outfits ever & one suppper cute lil lady as well!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't do anything for St. Patty's Day either. Mommy fail...ehhh oh well, there is always next year right?
