Happy St. Patrick's Day!

One of the good things about the St. Patricks Day parade occurring on the Sunday before the actual day is that come March 17th, I have great pics of our girl all in her finest greens.  :)  We braved Scarlet's touch-and-go mood and the crowds to meet with one of Scarlet's daycare friends, Hazel, and her mom Steph.  Together this fearsome foursome hit Capitol Square to take in the Irish festivities!

A few things I learned:

1. A one year old doesn't care much about the parade. She DOES care about running away from you at any cost.
2. When you have a freaking cute kid, and then you put her in an adorable green dress and bi-colored green pompom hair clips... you just need to accept that strangers are going to come up and snap pictures of your child.  The first few times it weirded me out, but then I just decided to take it all as an indirect compliment.  :)
3. The aforementioned freaking cute kid also prompts total strangers to give you candy on her behalf.  Score.
4. Spring is fantastic.

We had good times...

And weathered the not-so-good times.  :)

All in all, an Irish success!  (Except in retrospect, mum should have gotten a pint!) 🍀

I'm so so sorry, I lost my self control for a bit here and sang Taylor Swift. You've been warned.
