St. Patrick's Day

We had a very eventful St. Patrick's Day yesterday. We all got dressed in green, ate a green breakfast (except for Alex), and went to an REI Garage sale (a member's only sale). It was super windy so, Alex and I waited inside the store while Daddy, and Grandma/Grandpa Prusso went looking for REI treasure. Alex got so excited that she fell asleep while we were looking around in the store. I found her some cute socks and I was blinded by sheer baby cuteness at what REI had to offer in terms of baby clothes (they have a baby wet suit!!! Not a real one, but a swimsuit that is meant to look like a wet suit). When Grandma/Grandpa Prusso and Daddy made it inside we went to the checkout lane and purchased our treasures. Afterwards, we went and spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa's house where we played, Alex attempted to nap (not successfully), played some more, watched Hugo, watched Top Gear, and then attempted to get Alex to nap again. Finally, in order to get her to sleep, Daddy snuggled with her and they both slept for a while. In the evening we went over to the Nelson's house for a wonderful dinner of corned beef sandwiches (which were SO good). Alex ate some avocado puree and watched as the adults talked and laughed. It was a fun evening and we really enjoyed it. When dinner was over it was time to go home and go to bed. Since Alex didn't sleep very well during the day, we were hoping that she would go to sleep better at home. Luckily she went to sleep without any problems and hopefully she had some good St. Patrick's Day dreams!

Sounds like a fun day. Everyone looks great in their green! We LOVE REI garage sales...somehow we missed this one though.
