Yesterday was St. Patrick's day, and for the first time in a while our family enjoyed a wee bit of celebration. I could care less about most grown up versions of celebrating this holiday. I don't like beer or big crowds....I do like having fun with my children. We started the day with dressing up our little leprechaun in a crazy green wig. You're welcome, Jensen! That's what happens when your daddy does Young Life.
We made sure to take a family photo of all of us dressed in our best green apparel...turns out that we don't own very much green.
Then we had a fun play date with my friend Ashley and her little girl, Ruby. I know some moms throw amazing green and rainbow themed play dates but ours was more tame. Ashley was nice enough to bring me a chicken pot pie (for dinner) and some chocolate muffins, I offered her a glass of our finest water. Eva got out her new bubble gun and things got silly. It was Jensen's first time to meet his little buddy and you can tell he was super excited. Haha, I'm sure their friendship will grow in time....also he had just woken up and was hungry. Eva on the other hand adored Ruby and did such a great job being gentle with her.
After our friends left we went out to play in the front yard. Eva played with her rice sensory tub for a bit. Before you think I'm some super creative mom for making her a sensory tub, let me share a secret. I made this box of rice plus random things last year for her for Valentines day. I had every kind of Pinterest intention to change it up for each holiday but I never have. She doesn't care. We get it out on pretty days and she is happy playing.
She also rode her tricycle and scooter around. I love the rain boots + dress + Dora helmet look she had going on.
When Ryan got home from work we took the kids to the BNHS baseball game. Jensen's first sporting event :) I am completely germaphobic for my still very newborn baby, but it was such a beautiful day and I am so ready to not be in the house all day. I packed plenty of antibacterial wipes and was definitely a crazy mom keeping all hands and objects clean.
After dinner we came home, took showers and baths, and I was in my pajamas watching Dora with Eva by 6:45 PM. It was lovely and quite and peaceful. I enjoyed a post dinner snack of Lucky Charms and called it a night.
