Two Holidays at Once!

Happy St. Paddy's Day and Happy Easter! There is so much to do, and this year with Easter and St.Patrick's Day being practically on top of each other, it all has to happen in one week or weekend: Easter Egg Hunts, Pictures with a Giant Bunny, Coloring eggs, St. Paddy's Day Parades, Dressing in green, Looking for Leprechauns. Kayli doesn't know what's happening next, but the important part in her mind, is the CANDY involved! She had her first introduction to bubble gum yesterday. They were throwing it out at the parade. She looked at me like I was crazy when I told her you just chew on it for a while, then you spit it in the trash. She did great with the gum, and after trying two pieces, chewing on them for a while, then telling me it was time to spit them out, she proceeded to follow suit with a tootsie roll. She chewed for a while, then decided it had served it's purpose, and it was time to spit it out. Hmm, now there's a calorie saving idea. It was VERY COLD at the parade, but that didn't stop us. We decided that as long as we weren't sitting in snow, we were ok. Unfortunately, the snow that fell the day before, caused the Easter egg hunt to be cancelled. Darn. So, on to the next event...
