St Patty's Day

Belated yes I am aware!

We started out the day with some very strange looking GREEN pancakes. They weren't that big of a hit LOL

For lunch we had GREEN jello and drank 7up through GREEN straws! (sorry no pictures)

We also took the time to color some Leprechaun and clover pics courtesy of http://www.familyfun.com/!

That evening, my Nana came over to babysit the kids for a few hours so that David & I could enjoy an evening alone to celebrate our 8th anniversary (which was the 18th).

So even though we didn't have a visit from any lil GREEN people like year's past, a great day was had by all :)

SURPRISE!!

When my father came to pick up my sister yesterday (as we're on our way out the door to go view a house) he tells me, "If you have 10 minutes to spare we wanna take the kids to the beach for the weekend" WHAT?!?!?! Do I not have the most wonderful parents?? But seriously, I am SO not a spontaneous person! I like to have plans, and lists, and prep time!!!! But I was flexible and found myself throwing clothes in backpacks - here's hoping they are both coordinating and warm enough! And then they were off!
How do we intend to spend this wonderful gift of a weekend you ask...
Well David is still sleeping but for some reason my body didn't feel like sleeping in on probably the one day all year that is allowed :( We of course still have some housework to do and shopping for the rest of the month (BLAH). But tonight we are going on a DATE! Dinner and a movie :) Can't wait!
