Happy St. Patrick's Day

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light. May good luck pursue you each morning and night. ~ Irish Blessing

The buddies and I really enjoyed St. Patrick's Day this year. A leprechaun visited us yesterday, leaving behind wee green footprints and two pots o' gold for the boys. After we enjoyed the gold nuggets he left behind, we made blarney stones, just like my mom used to make when I was a little girl. I don't remember my mom ever letting us help make them, which probably makes her a little bit smarter than me. What a sticky, peanut-y, mess!



And this morning, we joined our friends for a special St. Patrick's Day play date. We made shamrock crafts, bounced in the bounce house, drank lots of green apple juice, and ate some interesting green pizza. There were about 30 kids at the party, all decked out in green.







We topped all that off with corned beef and cabbage and green beer for dinner. The buddies poked at it and then ate hot dogs. It was the perfect ending to a very Irish day.
