Greenie

Blame it on my mom, but I've never really gotten into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. I don't know the history of the holiday, and didn't grow up expecting visits from leprechauns. So, this year when we woke up and remembered it was March 17th, I was left to wonder what we could do to make it at least a little bit special. I made the kids some eggs, which I dyed green, but they were a little skeptical.


Kyla, on the other hand, didn't seem to have a problem with them at all.

The kids got all ready for the day, and were hanging out, waiting for school, when I took this picture. This is Maren and David, Jeff's sister's kids that live next door. Maren got Allie and Kyla dressed in their green, and I thought they all looked so cute.

Last night we celebrated by going to Chuck E Cheese's. We had been promising the kids we would go since January and last night was the night. My mom and sister were in town and we dragged them with us (along with my aunt and cousins). With all the family there, it was quite the party! Chuck E made an appearance, which made Damon and Allie extremely happy. Kyla, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with him.

Something to note about Allie: she is wearing her yellow swimsuit under her clothes. For some reason, this has been her favorite item of clothing to wear, and has worn it nearly every day for at least two weeks. She does wear undies with it, so I don't feel like she is compromising her hygiene, but it just makes me laugh.

Hope you all had a great day, and I will be waiting to hear what fun things you did. Maybe I will try harder to make it a better day next year!
