Have you been hibernating, too? I feel like I’m coming out of a stupor called WINTER. But today the kids wore shorts! And t-shirts! Outside! Without anything over them! And barefeet! And last week our favorite tortoise came out of hibernation….just in time to be fawned over by the three children, force-fed lettuce, and spend a lot of time veeeerrrrryyyyy sssssllllooooowwwwllllyyyyy ambling around the new yard.
I know it’s not quite spring yet….but it’s close enough to count, yes?
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Even though I’m a humbug and didn’t wear green and my poor boys didn’t wear green because Mama’s just not that into this holiday, and Wendy doesn’t own any green so had to suffice with beading a green necklace to wear today because she was not about to let herself be pinched and I finally succumbed to the pressure and made green punch for dinner (there were other healthier things, too) which turned out to be the highlight of the kids’ day (it even beat playing barefoot in the dirt!)….so maybe next year I need to drum up some more excitement for this holiday. But we’re not even Irish!
We didn’t do much for the holiday either, although we did hit the parade here on Saturday. Isn’t the warm weather wonderful?!
