My Mom sent us a St Patricks day card with a little bit of money in it for us to buy ourselves a treat! Avynlea and Rylee had a well child appointment on St Patricks day and when they found out about it they both asked if they were going to get shots. I told them I did not think they needed them but I did not know for sure, they might or they might not. Turns out Rylee was fine but Avynlea had to get 3 shots :(. She was brave about it and after we were done I took the girls to Burger King to get some ice-cream cones with our treat money. Ice-cream makes shots feel a lot better!
Kenedy and Ryker had their appointments a couple of days later and they asked the same thing about the shots and I told them the same thing I told the girls. What do you know, Ryker was fine but Kenedy had to get 2. We had things to do right after the appt and I didn't even think about getting them an ice-cream as well, Mom fail! I will have to make it up to them.
Here are the stats for the kids visits, nothing surprising here.
I sent this picture to my family to show my Irish pride. It always surprises me the lack of wearing green that I see around town on St Patricks day. I like celebrating it and try to remember that it is not a huge holiday and try to give people a pass and not judge ;).
I made the traditional corned beef for dinner with green mashed potatoes, green kool-aid and a strawberry spinach salad. Avynlea, Ryker and I were the only ones home for dinner. Kefford was not home from work, Kenedy was getting ready for a play performance and Rylee was out birthday shopping with her Grandma. I wanted to wait for everybody before we ate but I was leaving as soon as Alison got back to go see the play and the food smelled so good I could not wait! My Mom also sent some themed mustaches which we wore for a couple of minutes at dinner before they got too itchy and we had to take them off
Rylee took this picture of herself with my phone and I wished she would have taken a picture wearing her mustache.
Another Happy St Patricks Day in the Peterson home!
