Wearing Green and Sportin' a New 'Do

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Though I don't have any direct ties to Ireland, I just love this holiday. I think part of the reason is because my favorite color's green and I've always had so much fun seeing it worn en masse on one specific day.


Yes, Seth is wearing camo olive green, but I had a much brighter green shirt to dress him in before Chris got to him. Sigh.

This is what I got when I asked Eliza to pose for the camera (she had a solid green shirt on underneath the jacket but Chris thought that was excessive...)

The only way I could get Eliza to semi-pose was by taking advantage of her captivation with a wailing ambulance going by (see the green flowers?!)

Getting the baby festive as well with the green shirt over the bump.

Chris had no say in how much green I could wear though, so I was in no danger of getting pinched. ;)

Ignore the haggard, squinty look. I wanted to show off my new hair-do in the sun!

I got my hair done by a fellow cop wife at a local salon yesterday who's been doing hair for years. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I've never had my hair professionally dyed before, but didn't she rock her stuff?!

Here's a little better picture of Alisa's amazing skills (though you still can't see the adorable highlights).

Seriously, the best part was having her shampoo my hair. She has magic fingers and has been told in the past that she should have been a massage therapist. I agree.

Well, the day isn't complete without a crock pot of corned beef and cabbage for our St. Patty's Day celebration!



We're also going to have pistachio pudding for dessert, to which Chris just rolled his eyes because I tend to take the whole "green" thing too far. We would've have green eggs and ham for breakfast this morning but he offered to make french toast sticks instead, so I'm not complaining!

Besides, there's always next year...
