jumping in the rain...

no this will not be some profound post today

with hidden meaning
{not that I'm a profound person by any means}

simple as...

the girls wanted to jump/play in the rain with their rain boots

I agreed

got a few pictures

{perhaps blurry pictures}

and now I'm a sitting wet dog

that needs to finish painting a dresser and bed

for my daughter's birthday next Tuesday

okay maybe not a wet dog

but just soaked

I'm drenched since apparently my jacket I

so smartly

wore did

not have a hood on it

anyhoo...

my Grandma W's 80th birthday was over the weekend...

special little celebration with family

also realized for every celebration

I seem to wear purple

date night last fall

got a new shirt

purple

got a gift certificate from my sis-in-law for Christmas

what do I purchase with it?

a purple shirt and blue dress

received another gift certificate from my parents recently

what'd I pick out

shoes/headband for my daughter

and a purple shirt

what did I wear to a girls night in February

a purple shirt

you think now that I'm actually starting to wear more color

I'd pick something other than purple occassionally

note to self:

need to be a little more conscious of what color I wear

especially since purple isn't my favorite color

a likeable color I'd say

but no more purple

for celebrations

at.least.for.awhile, right?

on the way home from my Grandma's party

we stopped at our favorite pizza shoppe

in Columbia

Shakespeare's Pizza

to get dinner to go for when we got home

it was super busy and a 45-minute wait

so we got some drinks

sat with the girls

the girls had their stuffed animals doing lunges

yes...I said lunges

they had several restroom breaks

because checking out the restrooms in restaurants

seems to be the big-thing for my 3-year-old

right now

so both girls are wearing a St. Patty's head band my Grandma gave them

we are washing our hands for the 4th time

{or so it seemed}

and a lady behind us started talking with us...

I get asked...

well actually Madison got asked...

about the fact she was wearing a St. Patty's headband

apparently it's weird to wear one in March I take it

needless to say we felt a little questioned

then she looked at us

{a lingering look}

and asked

Are you Irish?

huh?

apparently

two dark-haired girls can't possible have Irish in them

right?

no way....

I said

uh.....ummm...yeeeees

seriously, I can't seem to get over why people question my ethnicity so much

but whatever floats their boat you know

St. Patty's day is only 8 or so days away

so to me,

I think it's pretty natural to see St. Patty's day things

err...especially on kids

yes, I get that I don't look an ounce Irish

but I've got plenty in me

and so do the girls from Bobby's side too

one of those moments

that you ask yourself

did that really just happen?

moving on...

we are doing a little bedroom redo for Hayley's birthday
