lots of fun festivities planned for this weekend! let's see we will be watching [part of] chicago's st. patrick's day parade....i'd rather be on the southside of chicago at the southside irish parade, but that parade ended last year. now they are going to have block parties...which they always had, ha! ha! it's a wild time in chicago that's for sure!
actually, the reason we are going to the chicago st. patrick's day parade is because our nieces are coming down from milwaukee and we are all going to the shedd aquarium. hmmm...maybe a trip to the american girl store? they are young still in the bitty baby stage...but maybe? not sure how much time we will have? if not, another time for sure!!
below are 2 rabbits i picked up for my nieces. i also picked up some cute easter themed ziploc type bags at the dollar tree. in addition i stopped at jewel-osco and picked up some YUMMY --- okay, REALLY YUMMY -- hawaiian punch jelly beans from brach's.
let's hope i don't eat them all, i had to open up the bag so i could take a photo to show you the amazing colors! now i need to stop eating them, seriously! ha! ha! i also picked up some pastel reese's pieces peanut butter pastel eggs. haven't tried those yet! i bought 2 cartons...just in case! ha! ha! i am a sucker for easter candy!
ops, i see the ferrero rocher made it into the photo...that's actually for me! love ferrero rocher!oh well, i plant an putting the candies inside the baggies and trying them with green grosgrain ribbon and attaching them to the rabbits. i wanted to give them something small so that their parents could carry the rabbits around the shedd. i was going to do baskets, but thought those might be a hassle carrying around the shedd! ha! ha! plus, i didn't want to confuse them since the easter bunny leaves easter baskets anyway. good times!!
so now let's talk weddings!! i will be celebrating my 10 year anniversary in a couple of months! it's amazing how fast time flies!

LOVE those jellybeans!!!
I will either be at the Chicago parade or the South Side at the bars (allegedly they're suppose to still be happening as if the parade were in tact). I hope you have fun celebrating. As you know, St. Patrick's Day is something out of this world in Chicago. Enjoy your weekend!
I am so obsessed with Arthur Court! I will have to check out the sale, though my husband thinks we have planty, that ice bucket has caught my eye!
