St. Patty Day Parade 2014

Our family went to the Hamilton St. Patrick's day parade again this year. It is so much fun to see all the bag pipers, mummer bands and kilts! Lindsay of course, remembered the important stuff: that they throw out candy from the floats...lol. Happy St. Patty's!
Sassy Girl: Posing for the camera. I can't get over how grown up she looks. I had a vision of her in 10 years...oh my!

Madison smiling her cute little grin, mouth full of goldfish.
It was above 50 degrees, so the girls were thrilled to not to have to wear their winter coats over their St. Patrick's shirts. Thanks Nonna for the parade chairs!
Our Lucky Charms :)


On Tuesday we had our friends over for a St. Patrick's Day play date...
Eating a "fruit rainbow". The blackberries were the first to get eaten.

Played a dice game called, "Roll Your Luck". Colors, counting and sight words...the teacher in me did a happy dance ;)
 And of course, we had Green Smoothies with crazy straws! Shhh... don't tell the kids what made it green was kale ;)
We had someone comment before the parade, "St. Patty's is totally different when you have kids." I would agree... in my opinion, all the holidays are more fun to celebrate when you can experience it with your children. Here's a quick little blast from some St. Patty's days past:

  1. Mia has that "Pinch Proof" shirt too! So cute. The kids had a lot of fun with St Patrick's day at school. The leprechaun came and trashed their room! AGH!

    Glad it's getting warmer for you guys. You can always come here where it's almost sure to be warmer!
