St. Patrick's Day Parade

 We went to the St. Patrick's Day parade in Rolla today. It started at 11:00 and was the.longest.parade that I can remember. There were sometimes a block spacing in between floats or walkers. I think it also seemed really long because it was a chilly. The kids both had green shirts on, but no one could see because of the coats.

 Katelyn was excited to go to the parade because she was hoping for candy. There wasn't much candy at this parade, but PLENTY of beads.

 

 And Will, well I thought he'd cash out on the drive to Rolla from screaming so hard at his haircut, but wrong again Mom! He just took it all in and was pretty good through most of it.

We met some friends there so that helped to make things much better too!

 And it finally started. Oh and it didn't help that we were at the end of the route. Not my choice, but where our friends wanted to sit. So there we went.

Really sportin' her green!

And none of them were fans of anything that was too loud. There was quite a bit of ear covering going on.

The Bigs - Katelyn, Katy and Liam. The littles are back behind.

Even Will got some beads! And liked putting Jack's hat on and off.

My sweet, tired little guy!

Even Momma got in on some of the pictures!

And then one with my sweet girl !

Even though it was chilly and long, we had a good time and Katelyn had fun, so that's what really mattered! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 St. Patrick's Day 2012

The weather has been hit or miss today so we didn't go to any of the parades. Katelyn had a breakfast date with Daddy this morning and went to Cracker Barrel for pancakes. She loves her daddy-daughter dates and I'm so glad that Jack takes the time to give her that special one on one attention. And Will and I stayed home and snoozed! A perfect Saturday so far!

My 2 Lucky Charms! :)

Daddy was tickling him and we got a smile!

St. Patrick's Day

Today was a busy day for us.

Katelyn went to school, Jack left for the Nascar race in Bristol and

I'm trying to put the house back together after a busy week.

Katelyn had a green kind of day -

Lucky green t-shirt, green hair bows, green shamrock shaped pancakes for dinner with green milk and green applesauce.

Surprisingly, she ate all of it!

Skeptical Katelyn ate it!

Can you believe it?!?

She called her shirt her "Patty" shirt and

she helped make the green "patty" cakes and green "patty" milk.

Maybe that's why she was agreeable to eat it!

Who knows!

A trip to the park to pass the beautiful afternoon!

A green milk mustache!

And last but not least, using all of her K-State tableware in hopes for a March Madness victory tonight!

Let's go Cats!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

Katelyn shouldn't get any pinches at daycare today!
