Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
Des Moines knows how to celebrate this holiday! We went downtown to the parade this morning. I was surprised how decked out everyone was. We saw all sorts of green wigs and hats, a lot of hair dying (on the head and face), green eyelashes and makeup, and an assortment of leprechaun accessories. It was quite the sight!
There was a lot of beads and candy being thrown. We were a lot smaller and slower than most of the parade watchers (since this is a holiday where adults act like kids and get drunk by lunchtime) so we didn't get as much as most. Two strings of beads and a pocket full of candy is plenty! We were very happy with what we got :)
To make our Lucky Day even better, it reached 70 degrees here in West Des Moines!! We spent a sunny afternoon outside enjoying the warmth, the ever-present wind, and breaking in Cole's tricycle and Ellie's car.
I am so lucky to have my two cute kiddos to share every day with!
