Top of the Evenin' to You!

We headed to the zoo today since the kids have off for spring break and the weather was just too nice to stay in. I can't believe how many people remembered to wear green for the holiday. It was so cute seeing all the little kids in St. Patty's gear or green clothing. We spent a couple of hours visiting a few animals, riding the carousel (okay, I didn't ride, my friend Marian took them on), and snacking on our packed lunches (show-off Marian packed Ethan an all green lunch, while all I had to brag about were some chocolate-covered strawberries). I loved that I could take Joel's socks off today. Baby piggies are so cute!
Hope you enjoyed a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Feelin' a Wee Bit Irish

The kids have Spring Break next week, so they celebrated St. Patrick's Day today at school. The whole family was sporting green. Gabriel made this hysterical hat as his craft today and was very happy to wear it for the picture...
he even shared it with the dog!

We gave our school friends and teachers little bags of coins (Rolos) and we took an "Irish" lunch of shamrock-shaped cheese sandwiches, green pears, green twizzlers, and green sprinkled sugar cookies...


that we baked yesterday with our friend Ethan. Here's his little package that he took home with him. There's not much Irish in us, but you'd never know it!!!
