We celebrated Everett’s 4th birthday. He is very, very, VERY 4.

The kids loved the St. Patrick’s Day Parade downtown (more on that later!). Everett has that Fighting Irish pose down, doesn’t he? (We’re not Irish. Even one little bit.)

More celebrating for Everett’s birthday, with as many cousins and aunties and uncles and grandparents as we could possibly fit at Dos Padres. We love it there.

Ev got a t-ball bat for his birthday and, much to our surprise, the kid has a killer swing.

I took an entire bottle of wine with me to Micheal’s. I’m assuming that I don’t need to explain why. That place makes me twitch, especially on a Sunday. I even brought cups for sharing. (FYI, that’s the Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rose. You should get a bottle or 10. It’s very good.)

You know you’re a mom when you can wrap a present in the car without skipping a beat. (Black paper available at Spruce, which is one of my absolute favorite Bellingham shops. They’re downtown, on Cornwall.)

What did you do this weekend?
