St. Patrick's Day at the Tub

Our morning started with me putting some corned beef into a crockpot and making Quinn some green oatmeal. Nothing is better than green oatmeal with blue berries. Apparently, Quinn likes to have a green breakfast. Oh - I also covered Quinn's arms, hands, and cheek with shamrock tattoos. They look so cute!

After we dropped Quinn off at school Liam and I headed outside to play!

That's where Liam amazed me once again with how brave he is getting. He climbed up our ramp thingy on our playset. He didn't crawl - he climbed, using the ropes and almost standing up. I couldn't get a picture of that, I was just a little too busy trying to make sure he didn't fall off and crack his head open. Instead...I got a good one of him going down our little slide.

After we picked up Quinn from school we headed to the Aboretum and had such a good time. I managed to keep the boys up on the way home and enjoyed a late afternoon naptime by doing the dishes, going through mail, and cooking up the cabbage.

Then, Mike got home, took the boys outside to play some more and then it was time for dinner.

Dinner where Quinn did not enjoy and almost refused to eat the corned beef or the carrots and where Liam screemed for fruit the entire dinner. It was the most unenjoyable dinner I've ever had with those two boys. I figure they were just testing out their Irish attitudes. After dinner we enjoyed some books and quick baths and then it was off to bed for the mad Irishboys.

And now I'm waiting for Mike to hunt down a Shamrock shake for me. Which reminds me... I'll never forget this night in high school. We went out to McDonald's on St. Patricks Day night and ordered 4 shamrock shakes in the drive through. They told us they were all out and my friend yelled, "WHAT? It's f---ing St. Patrick's Day!" and then peeled his tires out of there. Fun times, I tell you, fun times. But really - how could McDonald's run out of Shamrock Shakes? and on St. Patrick's Day.

***updated***
No shamrock shake was found. Mike went to THREE different McDonald's. And no shake. And I know of two people who attempted to get a shamrock shake today and had no luck. What's up McDonald's?!? It's f---ing St. Patrick's Day!
