St. Patrick’s Day

Even though I saw Lily bring home the St. Patrick’s Day groceries last night, and I wrote a note (as though I was a Leprechaun), I totally forgot it was St. Patrick’s Day this morning. The rest of the family didn’t forget though! When I made my way upstairs, everyone was already enjoying the St. Patrick’s Day goodies and everyone was wearing green (which I forgot to do)!

Also, Lily read St. Patrick’s Day books to everyone:

Target was completely sold out of Lucky Charms and we also didn’t get any chocolate gold coins like we usually do, so Lily asked if I could write a note to explain why we had other goodies instead. This was my best attempt.

As usual, there was evidence of Leprechauns using our bathroom.

When I came up from a very intense day at work at 4:30, I was delighted to find Georgia visiting and Lily letting the kids help her cook and prepare the St. Patrick’s Day feast we planned to have for dinner. I think they are making a delicious bread loaf in this picture.

Lily also let everyone help make a rainbow skittles cake. Here is a video of them frosting:

The dinner was so delicious that I had to take a picture of my plate. Cabbage, roasted carrots, grapes, cheese, home-made bread (soda bread?), home-made mashed potatoes, and the show-stopper was the corn-beef, probably the best I’ve had in my life.

Lily, thank you thank you thank you for making this such an incredible St. Patrick’s day for everyone!!!
