This is such a fun time of year to live where we do! We have 10 fun days to enjoy Leprechaun Days...our town has a strong Irish background, hence the reference to Leprechauns. There are so many fun activities planned, and we only partake in a few of them...but we look forward to them all year!
On Thursday night, I headed to Central Park with my friend Tina, and we enjoyed a chilly evening in the beer garden, while listening to GB Leighton (one of the bands we have seen many, many times when we used to go out more!) It was so nice to enjoy the beer garden without the kids, because I knew the next night would be family time, and kids aren't allowed in the beer garden!
Scott, Ava, and I picked up G from daycare on Friday night and walked over to the carnival (aka Midsummer Faire) and Ava and G had a blast playing games, riding on rides, jumping in the bouncy houses, and eating healthy snacks. Wait, what? That part's not correct. It was all junk food, all night long. Ha. Everything in moderation as a wise lady reminded me that evening (thanks, Mom!)
Both Ava and G ran into friends while we were there, so they were able to burn off some energy playing in the park, while the adults had a chance to catch up and relax.
The adults took turns in the beer garden, and enjoyed The Dweebs in the background for music. There were SO many people there, and it was fantastic weather to spend the evening outside. We eventually headed to Celts to have "real" food/drink, and then Grandma Karen and Grandpa Doug walked home. We made sure to drive the back roads to avoid the crazy people walking home in the area...haha!
We skipped the parade this year, but last night, we all stayed awake to watch the fireworks. We have a perfect view of the show from the park, so we sat in comfort in our guest room, watching the bright explosions, hearing the noisy booms, but not worrying about bugs or anything. Both kids were enthralled with the show, and there were some really cool fireworks that I had never seen before. Nice job, Rosemount!
Great news! G didn't wear a pull-up last night, and he didn't have any accidents! I told him this morning that we are nearing the end of the pull-up era...we're so excited!
I've tracked some disturbing info about how much I've been working lately, so today, I am going to be work-free! I am going to enjoy the day with my family, and would like to be outside, feeling the sun on my face. It's a sunny blue sky right now, and I think it's going to be a great day!

He was pretty excited about the "really big robot" he built the other day!
