St. Patty's Day and The Problem Solver

Pin It

After some very emotionally draining weeks recently, it was good to just relax with family and friends and squeeze in some running too.

Friday E spent the day with Nana and Molly the dog.

Saturday started with a St. Patty's Day 5 Mile run in downtown St. Louis.  I couldn't believe how warm it's been.  When the race started at 9:00 a.m it was almost 65.  It was almost hot but never the less I was looking forward to the race.  I was excited when I crossed the finish line at 47 minutes.  That has by far been my fastest St. Patty's Day run. 

After the run, we got all cleaned up and headed down to the parade.  The weather held out just long enough for E and M to enjoy the fun. (That's my brother by the way.)

 He had so much fun and got so hot, we had to cool him down for the walk home.  I know, not exactly a classy look but sometimes it's not about looks.  :)

Sunday was all about getting back into a routine.  We started the day getting ready for church.  As you can see, it takes us a little while to get ready in the morning but we end up getting it right.



After church E took the longest nap he's ever taken then  we ran some errands. 

Our first stop was Target.  While we were there, I picked up the typical necessities, some toilet paper (because the stuff my husband bought last week was terrible), some milk and yogurt.  While I was shopping for clothes for E, I looked over to find my little "problem solver" developing his own way to eat yogurt.  I like to call it the beaver method.  He uses his teeth to create a little hole just big enough to suck the yogurt out.  I actually think it's genius.  Well there you have it.  Our weekend in a mismash of pictures.  How was your weekend?
