My Second Holiday - St. Patrick's Day!

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Today was a long day for me and Mommy.  Today I celebrated my 1st St. Patrick's Day!  I was so excited I didn't sleep much throughout the day.  I didn't want to miss any part of it since I'm part Irish.  Mommy is exhausted from today but I'm planning on letting her get some sleep tonight since I didn't get much sleep during the day.

My first time sunbathing!

Mommy and I ran some errands on our own and then we joined Grandma on some errands.  We went to the Post Office to try and get some stamps so that we can send out my hospital pictures to the family but the Post Office here is closed during lunch time!  They only have two people who work in that entire post office!  We aren't having much luck getting stamps!  This town is a lot different than Miami Mommy says.

Grandma and Mommy then took me to the Nursery.  I got to see lots of pretty flowers!  Grandma bought some and planted them in planters on the deck.  They are really pretty.  I can't wait to get bigger so I can play in the dirt and help plant those pretty flowers.  Grandma says we'll get to go back to the nursery to get more flowers as the weather gets warmer and new flowers arrive.

Since the weather was so nice today Mommy decided I needed to work on my tan so she took me outside on the back deck to get some sun.  I didn't like being out there too much.  The sun is too bright.  Bagel was really enjoying laying out in the sun, so Mommy said when I get a little bigger she'll lay me next to Bagel in the grass to get a tan - so he can show me how it's done!  Bagel spent almost the whole day out there sunbathing!  I guess the sun isn't so bad!  The weather is supposed to be even nicer tomorrow Mommy said, so maybe I'll get another chance to try out the sun!

After spending some time on the deck we went down in the yard and I got to meet Moe and Lucky (grandma's horses). Moe was a little shy and wouldn't get too close, but Lucky came right up to Mommy who was holding me.  Grandma is trying to sell the horses but if she still has them when I get bigger she says I can ride them!

Just a few more days until Spring!

Oh, Daddy got offered a sales job today at a church furniture company.  If Daddy takes the job he'll go back to working regular hours.  That means he'll be home every night for dinner and he'll be home on weekends with us!  I hope that works because I would really like to spend more time with him!

Grandma is planning on going to Maryland this weekend so it'll just be Mommy and me at home tomorrow night and Saturday, so if she doesn't get a chance to type my blog for me, forgive her, she's probably busy spending time with me!



Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!  I can't wait for my next holiday - My 1st Easter!
