Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We had a very chill weekend hanging out at home, then got together with my family to eat corned beef and cabbage. It’s sometimes more work to keep the kids occupied and entertained at home, but it was nice enough to get outside a bunch, so it was a good time 🤍 Don’t get me started on Lydia’s nap protest though 😬

I didn’t take a single picture on Friday but leftovers and an early bedtime will do that to ya! Saturday, Joey made us all waffles and then the kids played outside while Joey and I alternated going on a run. Before lunch, the kids helped me bake some Lucky Charms cupcakes. They had an important task of removing all the marshmallows from the cereal and they took it very seriously 😂 After lunch, we tried to get Lydia down for a nap and Joey and Dempsey took a trip to Target but at 2:30 we gave up and I walked with the kids to Tennyson where Joey met us post-haircut. Stopped at the coffee shop then the park to play until we were ready to head home and warm up.

Back at home, the kids helped me make the green frosting and then we all got to have a cupcake snack. The kids definitely just ate the frosting and marshmallows off the top though 😂 For dinner, we made naan pizza (we were UP in the kitchen this weekend!) and how cute is Lydia putting honey on her own pizza crust? We finished up Ron’s Gone Wrong and started Moana 2 before putting the kids to bed. TWO-year old no nap Lydia is definitely less of a mess than FOUR-year old no nap Dempsey but she was loopy at bedtime. They both were asleep in minutes!

The kids were silly right off the bat on Sunday morning. I found Dempsey reading my book in the closet and then we hid from giants for a bit while Joey went to pick up biscuit sandwiches for breakfast. The rest of the day involved another trip to the park for Joey and the kids while I had some alone time to workout and start lunch salads, then lots of laundry, another nap protest, Legos and Frozen II with Dempsey and we did some Easter crafting before leaving for my parents’. We had a good time playing over there and eating corned beef. The cabbage is always my favorite part 😂 Got the kids home and to bed then cleaned up our sink full of dishes and went to bed ourselves.

I hope everyone has a good day!
