Gone are the St. Pats celebrations with green beer but our celebration now includes three green clad children. The boys thought St. Pats day was neat this year. They knew to put on green right away and they were ready to pinch anyone who wasn't wearing green.
The Friday prior to St. Pats, all three children took little green shamrocks with gold candy attached. The shamrocks read "I'm lucky you're my teacher." They were very proud of their little creations. Lane was especially excited to hand her shamrock to her teacher.
On St. Patrick's Day we went to Build-A-Bear with ASGO, the autism group. Gabriel made a dog, Alex made a monkey, and Lane was thrilled to bring a purple Hello Kitty to life. Lane is definitely "all girl".
Later our friend Whitney and her friend, Keesha, met us at home. They were visiting from KY on their spring break. We went swimming and out to dinner at Joe's. Alex worked hard at figuring out the monkey bars while Lane made friends with other toddlers and enjoyed the slide. Gabriel, on the other hand, thought the rocks were the best part of the playground. Alex did make several sand/rock angels while we were there. I wish I had photos to share of it because it's pretty funny to see a five year old making an angel in rocks.
Alex's first crush has been on Whitney so we allowed him to stay awake until hours past his bed time. He had quite a tough time waking up today!
It wasn't a wild St. Patrick's day but a memorable one shared with friends. We are grateful for their time and the memories created.
