St. Patrick's Day


The kids were so excited for this holiday this year. I think in preschool they had been talking a lot about it. I went and bought shirts for the kids earlier in the month and they were really excited to wear them. I was prepared early just in case the baby decided to come. Ben really caught on to the wearing green part and was excited to pinch people that weren't wearing green. Both kids even wore green pajamas the night before. Nana, Dave and I didn't so they were excited to pinch us in the morning. Nana made the day extra special. The night before we went out and bought a lot of green food. That morning we had green pancakes. I was surprised that the kids ate them but they loved them. They woke up to green footprints all over the house that led to some treasure. Siena had done a leprechaun hunt at school the day before and was so excited that they came to our house too. They had left some tiny leprechaun size food at the end of their trail. We all went to an ultrasound that I had that day and Ben was determined to find someone not wearing green so he could pinch him. Our ultrasound tech went and found 2 technicians that weren't wearing green and brought them out to the waiting room so Ben could pinch them. It made him so happy and all the technicians thought it was hilarious. It was a wonderful warm day and we spent all of it outside. I was glad Nana was around because I was having contractions all day. Baby decided to join us the next day.
