Saint Patrick's Day Chicago Style

If you're a regular on following my blog, I do apologize for it being so long.  Nothing has been happening, well expect for me running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get done with all the paperwork for my new job.  Conclusions: I don't have TB, I'm not a criminal, and I'm sane enough to work with children.  I literally have spent the last month doing paperwork and running it into work, then more paperwork and running it into work.  It will make this job all the more sweet once I start...TOMORROW! (kinda) Training will all that will be in store for me the next two weeks, but i'm thankful for the ease into working full-time once again.

So it's Saint Patrick's Day, in case you were not aware.  I don't get into this holiday.  Maybe it has something to do with the day being centered around red hair, wearing green, being pale, and the name "Sullivan"...all of which I'm currently associated with (yes, even I pulled a green shirt out of the back of my closet). But there is a big deal that happens in Chicago if you weren't aware. Ready for this?

THEY TURN THE RIVER GREEN!

Knowing we aren't sure how much longer we'll be in Chicago, I wasn't going to pass this up.  No matter how stinkin cold it was today, I convinced myself this was a must.  So, after church we made our way to the river.  Was it worth it?  Well, see for yourself.

TOOT TOOT!  Hello Chicago visitors!

Please excuse the hair...it was quite windy as the waves show

My Vanna White moment.  Patrick decided to take it from far away to show off the boots.

Quite green! It was cloudy mostly but when the sun tried to peek through it made it look even greener.  So that was my excitement for today.  Hopefully I'll have some more blogs soon about my new job and maybe even some pics of my classroom too!! Until next time...cross your fingers for some warmer weather.  This girl is itching to pull back out those summer dresses and flip flops!!!
