Mom's Messy Miracles: St. Patrick’s Day Parade

March 19, 2014

St. Patrick’s Day Parade

 

Here’s a quick (almost) Wordless Wednesday.

This past Saturday was absolutely beautiful and we were dying to get out of the house. My mom called and said there was a St. Patrick’s Day parade in a neighboring town, so off we went.

Owen slept through the whole parade. Charlie ate too much candy, but we all had a great time!

Saturday was beautiful and warm(ish), Sunday night we got about 3-4” of snow. Crazy weather this year.

 

Did you do anything fun for St. Patrick’s Day this year?

    Awe, that reminds me of the parades we used to have at home. I never looked forward to the candy, I was always the most excited for the mini bread loaves that were handed out!

    I love your new mint chevron and sunny yellow accents. Perfect for spring. Parades are the best for little guys.

    I love parades - St Patty's Day Parade is always so much fun in Milwaukee, We missed this year it was only about 26 degrees with wind...too cold for me

    It seems as if your little one had a great time at the parade. That is a memory to treasure/

    No, we were on spring break so we just had a lazy day. Though, if we had parades we would have went to those.

    What a fun looking parade! I don't think we have a St. Patrick's Day parade around here, though my kids would love it.
    We didn't do much besides make some green cupcakes! =)

    Parades are fun. I have even enjoyed watching them on TV on the holidays. Those horses are beautiful, I would go just to take some pictures.

    What a fun parade!!! unfortunately we never go to the one in Charlotte because I don't love huge crowds, but maybe we'll have to go when our girls get bigger.
