Daffodil days are here…

Published on by harrigantales6 Comments

For the past three springs I have taken the kids pictures in a small area of daffoldils.  You would never know but it lies on the side of a local bank.  We had to get up early before the sun would shine to get the best pictures.  It was a little chilly so it was not easy getting the smiles that I usually get.  I have learned with kids if you can’t get the shot… give up and try later.  Things only get worse if you keep pressuring them to "look happy" and "smile".  Anyways here are a few fruits of the labot from the early chilly morning.

Egg Coloring

Published on by harrigantales5 Comments

For the past three years we have created a tradition of coloring easter eggs with the Tyrrells.  The kids color their eggs with one color (amatuers) while Mary and I scheme as to how creative we can get each year.  We have created eggs with dots, lines, several colors, swirling and tye-dye.  We have used tools such as rubber bands, oil, colanders and rubber cement.   This last year we added yet another tradition – drinking mimosas while decorating.  Gotta love that one.  I believe after years of practice I have just about perfected the plaid egg.  I know it is hard to believe but feast your eyes on this.

Lucky & Charming

Published on by harrigantales5 Comments

I sincerely apoligize for such the lapse in publishing anything lately.  Things have been fairly hectic but I will be posting pictures of happenings in the Harrigan Household the last few weeks.

DSC_01086011.jpgBeing the somewhat organized mother I had purchased matching t-shirts for the boys to wear for St. Patrick’s Day.  I know I am little behind in my posting but believe me they did wear them that day.  The weather was quite chilly therefore turtlebacks were in order.   I took the pictures when I got home that night but not before Peyton had consumed two bowls of spaghetti.  Evidence can be found on the white turtleneck. 

So I asked Walker, "Do you want to be ‘Lucky’ or ‘Charming’?" 

He pondered, scratched his chin and said, " Well… I will be ‘Lucky’," pointed to his brother and said, "He can be ‘Charming’."
