Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!!

Today, John got to play with his Uncle Mark!  Being St. Patrick's Day, and it being Mark's first St. Patrick's Day of age, I was very impressed he wanted to spend it with his nephew.  I was thrilled though! =)  I had an appointment to go to, so I took SJ with me and JR and Mark stayed home to play. 

Mark reading Three Little Pigs

They read books, played with water and soap in the sensory table, counted potato chips, ate very buttery Mac & Cheese, and Mark taught him how to shoot rubber bands.  Clearly, they both had a blast!!!  John took a 4 hour nap this afternoon...

One of John's favorite parts of the day is when we get the mail.  He just loves tearing apart all of the junk mail and even our bills.  Well, tonight JR and SJ got a card from Nana and Bompa!  :D  They sent a sweet St. Patrick's Day card for the boys, the best part is that they sent shamrock stickers too!!!  Very fun! Thank you Nana and Bompa!

As we were reading the boys' card, my parents stopped by.  They brought a green spider! (plastic of course!!) haha  We chatted and hung out.  I very low-key St. Patrick's Day here. 

John has been sick this whole week-  On Tuesday morning, when Ryan went to check on him before he left for work at 5am, he found JR had thrown up all over in his bed.  On Tuesday, he seemed ok, but as we were putting him to bed we realized he was running a fever. He had a fever all day Wednesday, woke up today without a fever, but threw up again tonight.  Stephen has a double ear infection this week again--- 9th one of his 9 month life. 

I am so excited for the weather to warm up!!!!!!!!!  We have been getting estimates for a wood fence for our backyard this week, it will be great to have our yard fenced in.
