St. Patty's Day

or is it spelled st. paddy's day?

we started with green eggs for breakfast.

i thought it'd be cute for the three of us girls to match, wearing denim shorts and green tees but ended up letting madison exercise her independent streak when she chose her green dress instead. pick your battles, right?

we met some family {dan's aunt diana, and cousin bridgette, and her kids, brayden and hallie} at freestone park for a picnic lunch in the beautiful 85 degree weather we've been having.  madison and brayden look more like siblings then 2nd cousins, with their white blond hair and they play SO good together. she will miss him when we move! 

we ate, played on the play ground, watched the train go by, climbed the big green hill, and patiently waited FOREVER for our own ride on the train.

after the park, we got all ready for madison's tumbling class, only to find out it was canceled due to spring break. since we were out and about, we took the chance to stop by and visit gpa and gma skinner instead.  they had just pulled into town after being gone a couple days and were dearly missed!
then my ellsworth grandparents treated us for our date night {dan is on call this weekend so we had to do it early}. green chili burros, enchilada style, at a little restaurant they love called xavier's.  i think they eat there often - as in several times a week. :) oh to be old... the girls played their little hearts out blowing bubbles and such with the babysitter.  

we had a low key but great st patty's/paddy's day and hope yours was good too!!

You were correct with 'Patty's'. :) Sounds like a fun, low-key day.
I worked. It was not exciting. The sprite was green like always. :)
