two day pass

three days of good girl time.
a dinner date for noodles friday night after our stint cat sitting.
we sat side by side as we slurped and planned out our precious time together.
we almost made a list like grandpa does, but had no pencil.
on the way home we sang adele loudly and marveled at the moon.
it was an orangey ocher and really something to ooooh and aaaaah over.
we quick stopped to stock up on more green for our st. paddy's day parade plans.
we were sufficiently shamrocked come saturday morning just like everyone else in the crowd for everyone is irish on st. pat's day.
the last time i watched this parade was with my mom, mcgurk.
i missed her something fierce, and happily, proudly wore her o'shit button despite my daughter's daring disapproval.
she smartly saw it and said, "o'bleep!"
after the bagpipers, irish hounds, setters and dancers, we stopped for lunch and an irish ale with friends to warm up from the wind.
my reuben was both lunch and dinner, and magically delicious.
me and my girl stayed downtown for church, which we attended in all our green regalia and it was a good thing too because although we remembered to spring ahead, i inadvertently turned off my alarm.
miss bit didn't wake me up until 10:15, which is exactly when class starts.
we had just enough time for a hike before we had to pick up the boys at the airport.
it was a beautiful 67 degree day with zero wind.
forget spring here...apparently, we're skipping straight to summer.
the boys came home with sunburn, stories and videos to share.
we all enjoyed the patio and our first grilled meal of the season.
hubby cooks up a mean flank steak.
it was early to bed for the fam.
the boys were actually grateful that they lost 2 hours (1 due to travel and 1 due to daylight savings) because that meant bedtime was sooner rather than later.
miss bit is fighting sleep...sad because she has to sleep alone instead of beside me as she has for several nights.
it's sweet just not at 9:30 on a sunday night.
i have a feeling that tomorrow is going to come too soon at casa wags...hopefully the next weekend will too.
