The week leading up to St. Patrick's Day we spent as much time as possible outside. MiniM.E. is so excited to be able to go out that she tries to put on her shoes first thing in the morning.

| MiniM.E. loves walking. Everywhere. |
 |
| Peek-a-boo! |
 |
| This swing is a little big. |
 |
| MiniM.E. did this slide all by herself! |
She doesn't really understand that it's not quite spring yet, and not every day is a nice day for playing outside... I don't particularly care to be pushing her in a swing when it's 20 and windy.
So on days when
I don't want to play outside, I have to find MiniM.E. things to do that are equally as or more fun that outside.
We went to the
Tiny Tots Tea Room again, which MiniM.E. loved. There were a ton of kids there this time, and most were her age.

| Driving around... |
And we bought some Dollar Store painting utensils.
We spent St. Patrick's Day weekend putting in an attic pull down ladder (actually Bob and my dad put it in and my mom and I were on MiniM.E.-duty), which I'm SO excited about because we have SO MUCH baby stuff to store already and MiniM.E. is only one-and-a-half. Needless to say there wasn't much St. Patty's partying. It was cold anyway, so we probably wouldn't have gone to a parade, and with a one-year-old we probably wouldn't have gone out drinking... AND now we have a useful attic! Yay!

It was a cold weekend, so we had to keep MiniM.E. busy inside.

Playing with Mardi Gras St. Patrick's Day beads |
 |
| Cleaning up a mess |
 |
| Trying on some new accessories. What do you think? |
Overall, a good week and a fairly un-festive but super-productive weekend.
