Our Lucky Charm!

While we aren't Irish, we celebrated St. Patricks day with plenty of style: pancakes, 4-leaf clover shirts, and running errands!  OK, so none of that really has anything to do with celebrating St. Patricks Day, but we still had a great day as a family!

Eric and I needed to pick up groceries, but we made a couple of stops and, as usual, things ended up in Samuel's favor.  At Ollie's Samuel got a new Diego coloring book, Oreos, a Very Hungry Caterpillar coloring book, and some bubble bath!  At Gabe's, Samuel got new rain boots, a new bubble gun, and a few other toys!  Then at Walmart he ended up with new PJs!  Talk about someone having the luck of the Irish on his side!

It was a fun day, and I couldn't help but laugh.  Samuel was being a little temperamental, but Eric was hanging with Samuel so I could get the things we needed, so I was always hearing: if you don't cry, I'll buy you something...hence why Samuel ended up with SO MUCH!   This isn't how I would have handled the situation, but I loved that Eric was giving the day 100% and I was able to get so much accomplished, I didn't say a word!  The day came to an end with a Happy Meal for Samuel at McDonalds!  Not a shabby day for a great little boy!
