St. Patty's Day 2012

Okay, so I know this is over a month late but that's just how I roll these days!!  I really do think about blogging a lot it, but just seems I never get around to it.  So better late then never right? Eventually, I will post about Christmas and New Years! (Talk about way behind!!)

So this year for St. Patty's Day, we (the kids, Grammy, Grampy, Aunt Sarah and Nana) went to a little Irish festival! They had an Irish band and the creek was colored green and they had hair painting and face painting for the kids!  It was a lot of fun!!! We (me and my kids) got there too late to get our face or hair painted, but we still had fun walking around and listening to Irish music!  Then for dinner one of the Pubs was serving corned beef and cabbage and they had green beer!!!  During dinner Grampy kept the kids entertained by wearing any and all accessories that Alli grabbed out of Grammy's bag!! Then later after dinner we took the kids for a walk around the creek and of course we had to stop for cookies!!  Alli picked the huge green iced shamrock so she go to share that with Benny!  I don't think she actually ate any cookie, I think it was all icing!! Then the big boys (David and Andy) decided they wanted to climb on the brick walls around the creek and Andy kept saying 'I have incredible upper body strength' as he was pretending to walk the wall with his "arms" only!! It was very cute!! After all this fun it was time for us to head home and see Uncle Brad!! He had just got home for some R&R (I will do this post next) so we got to hang out with all the cousins and aunts and uncles all in one day!!  Alli was in heaven!!!

Here are some pictures! Enjoy!

We are all wearing our 'Kiss Me I'm Irish' shirts!

I'm so lucky!!

Callie got her hair painted red! (like her mommy)

Alli thought he needed a hat to complete the look!

I know that no one is looking in this picture but I love how Benny is trying to give Grampy a puff!

David added an unibrow to his look!!

A rare brotherly hug!

Andy and his incredible upper arm strength! (this picture is from the wrong side, when you were in front of him it really did look like he was just using his hands to walk the wall. Making the comment more funny!)
