St. Patrick's Day Parade




We took the kids to the St. Patrick's day parade downtown last Saturday.  It was pretty warm out but we were in the shade (and not drinking of course) so it was good that we were still a little bundled up.  Gone are the days of celebrating St. Patty's with an all day drink fest...it's much more fun to celebrate this stuff with the kids and see the enjoyment they get out of everything.  Anyway, we had a great day.  Davis enjoyed piling up his candy (only to have me throw half of it away or give it away to the older kids around us).  Of course the horse poop was a subject for us to discuss as well.  We told Davis the horse should have went in the potty, that seemed to clear things up for him.  Diana was more excited about the fact that she got to eat BBQ chips with Daddy.  The most exciting part of the parade was the Irish dance academy and all the "curly-haired" kids bopping and dancing down the street.  I know all kids love music but I am telling you our children can make music and find a reason to dance out of any sound or beat.  We are really enjoying them right now.  I didn't think we could have anymore fun than we already were but we really are.  (Even though that meant I had to play the drums for over 40 minutes for Davis yesterday so he could show me his new "stomping" dance ( yikes...I was soooo sick of those drums!!!!)
