He'll be a couple weeks shy of 6 by this cruise, but yup, I'm cruising without him. He'll be staying at his dad's while we cruise! Mama gets to come out of her shell! But I'm taking him on a cruise a few months before this one to be fair, so it's all good!Now, that mother sounds wicked!!!
John, I love the pics! She must have had fun finding all those shamrocks!Here are some pictures from this morning's leprechaun visit . . .
Leprechauns left shamrocks all over the porch and front walk . . . unfortunately (hide your eyes California people) it snowed!
Sophia had to find them all though . . .
She had a bagful!
Sophia left this morning to go to an indoor water park with her aunt and Amy's cousin. She is gone until tomorrow.
Carol and Doug - we got our Fish Extender today - Great craftsmanship! Cool!
Exactly! But he isn't like normal men. He's quite a hypochondriac and if Tyler coughs once, he'll take his temp, then get the flashlight out and look down his throat to see if it's irritated!
Later on, let us know how he is....I know I ask my DH how the kids are while I am out..."Oh they are just fine....." then I come home to 105 degree temps....MEN!!
Drives me absolutely bonkers because my philosophy is if he doesn't have a fever, he's fine! And by fever, I don't mean checking his temp just to see if he has one....I mean you know he has one by looking at him (ladies, you all know that lethargic look kids get with high temp) and then check temp to see how high it is to determine what next step to take. 
Can't imagine there'd be a high need for them in CA! We have a bunch of them in Michigan.
Hmmmm....I wonder if I could get free green beer since my last name is Mulligan?!

No one has ever called me BIG!
How is it you celebrate St Patricks Day over there and we don't here?
I bet that was fun to see!!!!
I forgot to mention last night because I was falling asleep while typing, but I saw a clip on ABC news late last night about a guy on a Royal Caribbean cruise who was so drunk, he fell overboard. He fell 60 feet to the water, managed not to get sucked into the propellers, and survived 6 hours treading water until he was rescued. Apparently, as soon as he fell, the Coast Guard was notified and started looking right away. Can you imagine treading water for 6 hours?! They said it's very rare to survive falling overboard, so he sure was lucky! I'd google it and try to find a link to post, but have to be at Tyler's dad's in less than 10 minutes to pick him up. Fortunately, he only lives a mile down the road!

John,
So cute!! I really miss those days...
At least mine is wearing green and even pinched both her dad and I before we got out of our "not-green" jammies this morning!! The nerve! Of course, my pooh bear jammies did have a hint of green and I got to pinch her back!!!
We'll be trying some wine with the corned beef tonight, but I have Guiness and Bass for back up... Beer once a year, that's what I say!!
Karen
I might have to have some today, just because it's green... yeah that's it!
