Happy St. Patrick's Day! (& Preceding Week)

Last Tuesday (3/12) it was 70 degrees here (a sharp contrast to today's high of 44 and tonight's low of 23!). So while I'm still in full on "winter meal mode", we switched it up a bit and had our black bean soup out on the deck. Before dinner Meghan plays in the treehouse. 

The only one who actually eats her rice and beans.

Big kids striking "thoughtful" poses.


On Wednesday after work there was tickle time with Daddy.

Meghan occasionally when she's not trying to swipe Nuks out of her crib, will grab her blanket and demand it to be draped on her like a shawl. It's totally cute for the three seconds it stays on her and then it's a disaster because she's screaming for it to be repositioned, rinse, and repeat.

While I was at Clara's performance on Thursday night, Jack was busy making music of his own.

Brec dropped Jack off at his new preschool for the first time on Friday because I was helping Clara's class with their St. Patrick's day party. He snapped this picture of Jack busy at his craft.

The pretty pictures that came home from school!


On Saturday we had amazing weather, so warm we allowed the kids to do "water buckets", always a  crowd favorite.

Sunday was St. Patrick's day! and Meghan turned 17 months old.

Clara was very excited for St. Paddy's day and wanted to have a parade, so she made a sign and glued sticks to the back of it. She and Meghan made a go of it in the backyard.

After the "parade" Clara ran inside and came out a few minutes later dressed in this ensemble. Her reason for the wardrobe change was "that St. Patrick's day is an Irish holiday, and Irish clothing has more patterns and textures like this jumper." Plus who can resist wearing Mommy's green knee socks.



We practiced drawing shamrocks, and these were her "first good shamrocks" as labeled by the artist herself.

Later that afternoon she managed to con Daddy into another weekend ice cream outing. She must have the luck o' the Irish!
