Luck of the Irish

As you may already know, I love getting into the spirit of holidays. I know that most of the pressure to do this is brought on by commercialism but despite knowing this, I buy into it anyway. It's fun and makes for cute pictures of the kids in coordinating outfits (again something I am into, like I need to tell anyone that). So anyway, Joe is part Irish from his mom's side of the family so that is my excuse.

If you haven't already heard from Facebook, Twitter or other method of communication, Jake got sick AGAIN this week, this time with strep throat, poor guy. He is feeling better and back at school today but on St. Patty's Day he was home from school. Joe stayed home with him so I could still take Jadyn to Toddler Time at the library where in addition to our normal songs and stories, she got to decorate a shamrock cookie. Of course, she loved it.

So anyway, here are the pictures we took before heading to the library. Sometimes I look at photos and I REALLY notice my droopy eyelid as in the case with these pictures. I wish I could say I am over it but when I see pictures like this, it really gets me down. I look SO sleepy and asymmetrical but I made a promise I wouldn't stop taking pictures of me with the kids because I am self-conscious(pity party over, I know things could be worse).

I am going to try and get caught up on my blog before the end of the weekend. I am getting dangerously behind. Eek!
