Hope you are having a wonderful St Patrick's Day. We went out to eat for lunch and had Reuben Calzones. They were extremely good. Unfortunately they were so large we will have to eat the leftovers tonight. I cooked a St Patrick's meal including Irish Soda Bread on Sunday so the Hoffmans could have a holiday meal with the Hoffmans. During the week and especially today was just too busy for us to get together. Hannah liked the corned beef but not the cabbage. We like it all! The Soda Bread was so interesting and I am glad I tried it.
Friday night we said we would keep both girls so the parents could have an evening out. Before they got here they all went to a home and garden show. Poor Hannah missed her nap and had to walk the entire show. Zoey got to ride, of course. She was just about a zombie when she got here but she loves to play. She made it until about 7 PM and she looked at us and said "Can I go to sleep?". Of course. She beat me to the bed, climbed in and covered herself up. She barely rolled over until she was sound asleep. So, without planning she spent the night with us for the first time. I could not go to sleep because I was concerned she would be upset when she woke up in a different place. She woke up at 3:00 AM, found her way out of her room and down the hallway to our room. She said quietly, "Grammy, I'm hungry". So we got up and fed her. That gave her energy so she (and we) stayed up until 7:00. Then we all went back to bed and slept til 9:30. It was one of the most exhausting nights we have ever had, but when we took her home at noon we knew we would happily do it again. We went shopping today so we are better prepared for an overnight toddler guest.
Yesterday that sweet little girl referred to our living room as her home. There's no need for me to comment on what that means to us.
Yesterday was 82 degrees. Today the high will be about 49. In spite of that we are still so happy we stayed to enjoy this precious time with Hannah.
Again, Happy St Patrick's Day!
