St. Patrick's Day Weekend

Saturday we went to the St. Patrick's Day parade downtown. We 1st dropped Baylor off with my parents as we did not think he was quite ready for this occasion. Maybe next year! He had a great time with my dad as you can see from his little smile! Meanwhile, we met the Antley's and Alecia & Jake downtown. It started out as a very chilly morning. The sunshine eventually found us and it turned out to be a beautiful day! We ended up running into quite a few friends who we had not seen in a while, so that was nice! The parade was okay. It kept the kids entertained although they were very disapointed that no one threw them any candy :( Brighton, Jameson and Michael quickly forgot about the lack of candy after the parade. They danced a jig to the bag pipes and ran all around the courtyard while the rest of us had lunch and Irish beers. The dancing wore them out. Look at these two bums in downtown Charlotte! .jpg" imageanchor="1" > We all went back to Aunt Lacey's after the parade and grilled out and enjoyed the weather. On Sunday, Jason took Brighton to visit Gigi and Pop and Baylor and I ran some errands. When I returned home, I got out some of Brighton's baby clothes bins to go through for Baylor. Its kind of unfortunate as my boys were born in totally different seasons, so Baylor cannot wear all of Brighton's stuff, but some of it has worked and will. It was really fun to go through the clothes, especially some of the cuter, dressy outfits that take me back to specific moments in time of Brighton's baby life. I hope that Baylor is able to wear some of them soon. I dug out a little pair of sandals and put them on Baylor. He could not wait to take them off!! He was determined. This was his 1st time wearing shoes and he thinks socks are bad enough, so you can imagine. We ended the weekend by eating our traditional St. Patrick's Day meal at my parent's house, corned beef and cabbage, of course!
