We had a great St. Patrick's Day! We met my friend Tamara and her kids Austin and Amanda at the Science Museum. Tamara and I used to job share together and it has been forever since we've seen eachother, so it was great to get together. Before they arrived we took a few pictures of their St. Patty's Day outfits outside the museum.
Then we had to explore the cool statues they had outside.
Once inside we did tons of fun things! It was hard to take lots of pictures while watching both boys but I did get a few of different activities. Here is Tamara helping the boys do this flying paper activity.
Cooper was able to make his fly! He loved this and wanted to stay for a long time doing this over and over!
We also dug for dinosaur bones. Jackson had fun flinging sand all over.
Three of the four (Amanda was already off running) posing in the alligator mouth.
There were not many cars to go around and Jackson was NOT happy about it!
They did do some grocery shopping for me too which was really nice! :)
It was a really warm day so we were able to go outside and play with the water. Cooper waited (somewhat) patiently for the water gun.
Yes, my turn!
Jackson got really wet and loved it!
We tried to get a group shot of the four of them, I think this was the best we got.
I had to get one of me and the boys in their cute outfits!
Cooper took this one of me and Tamara. He almost got us in!
Awww, Jackson made a new friend!
I made rainbow cupcakes for St. Patrick's Day. It kind of all melted together so it didn't look much like the picture, but Cooper thought it was cool.
That evening Cooper had his first soccer practice! He's playing on his first official team and he's really excited about it. He actually had his first game on Saturday and he did so well. He played most of the game and had a great time. He was tired and sweaty when he was done though!
Showing off his "stopping" skills. We took a soccer class at the local rec center a month ago so that was fun to now practice those skills on his team.
So serious.
He's one of only two boys on his team, it's pretty cute. Some of the little girls are really good!
Our last St. Patty's Day activity was a four leaf clover hunt. Apparently it was way too easy because it took him all of 5 seconds to find it. Then he had to hunt for the rainbow and the pot of gold at the end of it.
Oooh, I found it!
Yes, I worked all day on that rainbow, don't be jealous! :) I am a last minute person for sure!
A busy but fun day!

All cute. Love the one of C on the turtle with the sky background and the concentration at the soccer practice! Great shots!
I must have a lot in common with Meg because I agree!! ;)
Wish I could see these boys more often... can't believe Mr. Jackson getting so big!
Your boys are so cute!! Ditto Meg and Allison - I loved those pictures! Cooper at soccer, looking so serious, was adorable!
What great fun! I love the rainbow cupcakes, I have NEVER seen those before.
His soccer pics are way too cute.
I love the pic of Cooper sitting on the soccor ball...he looks so serious and grown up in it!
