St. Patrick's Day

We usually don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day except to get the occasional Shamrock Shake :) This year we read that River Falls was having some fun festivities in honor of the day including a medallion hunt, potato soup tasting/contest and open container rule for the downtown area. To use this sounds very similar to the annual River Dazzle Chili Crawl that we have attending twice so we thought we would check it out. The weather was quite cold but we all survived and enjoy ourselves! We did read a few of the clues for the medallion hunt we were too tired at the end of our adventure to think of where it could be. Erik and I tried about 8 different potato soups. I really dislike potatoes....not the taste just the blahness of them and really do not like when they are in big, thick chunks. So, I wasn't sure how I would like the soups but they were mostly good. Some had really thin potato pieces and I loved that. Some were also really creamy and delicious! We ended our outing with lunch at Coach's and some green beer! Adam had a blast being pushed in his strolled and meeting lots of fun people. Here are some fun pictures of our day!

Lack of motivation!!!!

I am seriously done with winter! I know I live in Wisconsin and snow, cold, ice and crappy driving come with the territory but enough already! We have had so much snow this winter and it keeps coming. It's the middle of March for crying out loud! The amount of snow, long drives to work and dealing with the winter clothes, boots, etc has really bummed me out. My motivation has been leaking out like a balloon with a small pin hole ever since the New Year and it is about deflated. Spring can't come soon enough! Any ideas how to get some of that motivation back???? Not to be a total downer but this is my blog so I can complain, right? :) I have been putting off writing ever since I decided to get back on the blogging saddle because I haven't know what to write about. So, tonight I have a bit of extra time and thought.....now is as good of a time as any to get going with it. I promise the next entry will be more interesting and hopefully more positive. On a good note, the snow has made for some fun picture of Adam and some fun play time in the evenings....I do enjoy the longer light in the evening (but of course, I hate the darker mornings).
