St. Patrick's Day

Today not only did we celebrate St. Patrick bringing Christianity to the Irish, we also celebrated Oliver's forty-one month old birthday. Oliver has a monthly birthday every St. Patrick's Day, so my refrigerator has very similar magnets of him decked out in green shirts for the past three years. Here are some of my favorites from today:

One of Oliver's favorite things to do with his Daddy is Hip, Hip, Hooray where he gets him ready in the air twice with hip, hip and then throws him up and catches him on hooray. This video is of Oliver doing his own version of Hip, Hip, Hooray!

We took advantage of the warmer weather and played outside after nap. Sometimes Oliver likes to pretend the basketball is a soccer ball (just so you know our soccer ball is actually sitting on our porch).

Thanks to the help of a little food coloring, we had green pasta, green butter for our bread, and broccoli for dinner. We also had brownies decorated with little green frosting shamrocks for desert. All in all, a great day for us.

In this video, you can enjoy Oliver telling you about his food with a full mouth! :)
