Happy St. Patty's Day!

We've been really busy and I haven't had much time, motivation or energy to blog lately.
We had a fun weekend. We decided it was time to get involved in our neighborhood and went to the neighborhood association meeting on Saturday morning. It was good to meet some of the folks that are making decisions about what's happening in our neighborhood as well as find out how we can get involved.

The weather here was GORGEOUS so we decided that Saturday afternoon would be a good time to take flat Paige out for some fun. Who is flat Paige you may wonder? She's a new acquaintance of ours. We got her in the mail from our friends daughter back in St. Louis. Our little friend Paige is doing a school project that requires she mail a flat version of herself to an out of town friend and have them take pictures of her "flat self" out and about exploring the area. We then have to journal about the adventure that flat Paige is going on and send travel brochures and pictures back to her teacher so the class can learn about the area that flat Paige explored. Steve and I are having a lot of fun with this little project.

On Saturday we took flat Paige up to the capitol and down around State Street. Yesterday we handed her off to our friends Pat & Julie for the week as they're going to take her to Wisconsin Dells and Green Bay for some more adventures.
Steve and I needed to get out and have a little fun and this was just a perfect excuse! We want to make it a great school project for Paige so we're going all out!

Sunday afternoon was the St. Patty's day celebration here in Madison. Steve marched in the big parade with his hurling team and I met up with my friend Dayla to hang out down on the square and watch the parade.

It was such a perfect day! Our neighborhood is starting to come alive now the weather is nice and we love it! We love having a park right across the street and Steve & I have been playing lots of basketball in the park and taking lots of walks around the neighborhood. I really hope that spring is finally here! All this gross weather kind of had me down and its amazing how a little sunshine has completely lifted my spirits!

I'm really starting to like Wisconsin...
