Happy St. Patricks Day

We spent St. Patrick's Day this year with the kiddos.  No partying here, just some good old family fun:)  Which was quite fine with me.   

Skylar slept over at a friends house on Friday night, & Sam stayed with her Nana so it was just Wyatt & Hank on Friday night.  I took them & did a little shopping.  Found some cute Easter decor at The Christmas Tree Shop & stopped by Tarjay to see if I could find anything that I just couldn't pass up but I knew I didn't need.  I succeeded of course!

Saturday, Hank had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese at noon, so Creag & I dropped him off & took Wyatt shopping at the mall.  It was crazy to just have one kid.  That never happens & let me tell ya it was nice to be able to spend some one-on-one time with Wyatt.  We took him to get new shoes, & the Easter Bunny was at the mall.  He said he wanted to see him so we waited in line & Wyatt was all for it until we started walking toward the Bunny...He instantly freaked out.  I'm not one of those parents that will stick a screaming child on the Easter Bunny's lap just so I can get a picture, that's not going to turn out good anyway-so I just carried him on by & Creag snapped a quick picture of us.

Little Stinker is so darn cute! 

He's holding his duck mask that he got to pick out of the Bunny's basket.

After a little more shopping, it was time to go & get Hank from his party & then head to get Skylar, then Sam.  It's a lot of work when they separate to round them up again....whew!

When we finally had them all, we headed downtown to partake in some of the St. Patrick's Day festivities.  We went to the Lager House where Creag's brother Michael works.  They have a pretty nice sized lawn for entertaining right on the River.  They had live music, a few food booths, beer booths, & souvenir booths.  The kids were able to run around a bit.  Which was nice & the weather was perfect for it.  Creag & I got the best beer brat I think we've ever had & the kids chowed down on some hot dogs.  Michael was working so we got to say hello to him, too.  After the Lager House we walked over to Fountain Square before heading home for dinner.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.....

Once we got home, we got started on preparing our "Irish" dinner.  Stuffed pork roast, potatoes, cabbage, & green cool-aid. 

After dinner the adults had not green beer, but BLUE beer while we cheered on the C-A-T-S.  They won again!!

THEN, while I was cleaning up dinner....

Out of nowhere, a little leprechaun showed up in my kitchen!! 

They're not really as scary in real life as I thought they'd be:)

Happy St Patricks Day, Mates
