Irish Eyes Are Smiling

Hope everyone enjoyed the recent drinking holiday that is St. Patrick's Day.  We did...or shall I say 2 out of 3 of us did...

Sunday morning started off bright and early with a 6:30 a.m. alarm.  Kaci and I were headed for the Shamrock Run!  (Kevin does not believe in leprechauns or fun runs)  Much to my surprise, Kaci was not yet awake.  At 7:15 a.m. I was all ready, had my stroller loaded into my car, coffee brewed, snacks packed, etc. and still Kaci was asleep.  Remember...Kaci's usually up at 5:45 a.m. on the weekend.  It did cross my mind to leave her behind, but she was so excited the night before.  She had her race t-shirt, her race bib with own number, and I had even gotten her some new kicks for the race.  I couldn't leave her home.  BIG MISTAKE!  After many, many tears we finally made it out the door.

Kaci pre-race:

She would not even get out of her stroller to participate in the kid's leprechaun lap.  She also had a minor melt down over her first experience with a porta-potty.  (I honestly considered putting a diaper on her at one point but couldn't bring myself to do it).

As the morning went on, the sunshine came out and Kaci's mood improved greatly!  

Kaci post-race:

She even kept up the smiley face during our 45 minute commute from the 3rd floor of the parking garage to the street level!  

Lunch with friends followed...as well as a bloody mary for me!  Made for a nice Sunday!
