St. Patrick's Day with my Irish Babies

We had a fun St. Patrick's Day. Grady had a school party on Friday, and we brought fun plates and green punch! Then the morning of March 17th we made Shamrock Smoothies and ate Lucky Charms (normally a dessert-only cereal). That evening I made Shepherd's Pie (isn't that sort of Irish? I don't like corned beef, and I know the kids wouldn't go near it) and mint chocolate pie (the kids are obsessed).

Here are a few pictures (a bit heavy on a certain tiny girl)

Daddy's Work

The boys love to go to Daddy's work to ride on the trucks. Recently we spent a sunny afternoon there. It was Camille's first visit!

Tubby Time

All of my children really enjoy tub time, so occasionally I like to do special things to make it even more exciting. Recently we did a garden-themed tub, in honor of spring and warmer weather!

We had green water, fake flowers, pots and shovels, and "clean mud" (baking soda, water, and food coloring). The boys loved it!

Many times we keep it simple and just have bubbles in Mama and Dada's big jetted tub!
