Busy Weekend

So about 10:00 am on Saturday morning I realized it was snowing and showed Holiday.  She immediately got way excited.  "Snow!  Shoes, come on Mommy, outside!"  She couldn't wait to get outside.  She wanted to go for a walk in her pink pushcar.  They were really wet, fat flakes so it was like taking a walk in the rain.  We were dressed for the weather though.  We stopped by a new Italian cafe that we've been meaning to check out.  Holly and I had gelato and David had a cappacino.  Holly kept saying how she, "Loves chocwate!"  They had other things like wine, beer, smoothies, breakfast menu, lunch/dinner menu along with the gelato.  They even had a Guiness gelato, since it was St. Patrick's Day, only the owner made certain to us that he didn't recommend that.  Not every flavor is a success.  We really liked the place, it even appeared family-owned.  There's not really any cool places to hang out in our neighborhood so it was great to see something new that our neighborhood had been lacking.  Holly did a ton of puddle jumping on the way back home and had a total blast doing it.  While Holly napped, David and I prepped and painted the nursery to look like a boy's room, and did it under two hours.  Now we just have to put everything back in there and hang the curtains.  When Holly got up from her nap the weather was fantastic so we went in the back yard to play.  Daddy knocked down more of our invasive bushes and Holly and I helped as much as we could to put it in the green bin.  Yesterday we did our usual grocery shopping and laundry.  But we also went to the Seattle Center to watch Anna dance in her dance group at the Irish Festival.  They do traditional Irish folk dancing, think Riverdance, no arms.   Anna did really well and apparently the dance school also participated in the St. Patrick's Day parade downtown Seattle as well the day before.  Holly LOVED it.  She told us all about it over and over all the way back to the car and the way home.
