Gotcha Day

We celebrated Gotcha Day on St. Patrick's Day & I love how this is something the kids have come to anticipate with so much excitement. I thought it would be fun to surprise the kids with some Lucky Charms & green milk for breakfast. I never buy the sugary cereals (not judging anyone who does), so I thought they would love it. Noah wouldn't even touch it & after a few bites Ruby said in her nicest voice, "Mom, can I be done now?" Noah kept saying, "Milk isn't supposed to be green, mom." It made Tyler & I laugh & also made me wonder how often Pinterest ideas crash & burn with kids. It was all so cute in my head...anyways, I made up for it with a treasure hunt & treats they would actually eat. And then we took the kids to a "fancy" restaurant & spent most of the afternoon at the Mesa Temple. 

First clue for the treasure hunt!

This one was my favorite

They found the treasure!

Both kids are Lego obsessed right now. 

We decided to go to the Mesa Temple again this year since it'll be closing for renovation for the next 2 years. 




The kids love the Mesa Temple Visitor's Center






We ended the day at the park across the street from the temple & this blurry picture of Noah says it all. March in Arizona just can't be beat! Every time I start smelling the orange blossoms it brings me back to when we were sealed to the kids in the temple. Both were the best days of my life & we all love having a day to reminisce & remember those special days for our family.
