St. Patty's

It was St. Patrick's Day and this happened.

I don't know who's running the weather show up in the clouds, but I find this unacceptable! Baby did not agree. Thankfully, it was melting by afternoon. Whew.

Other than the excitement of the snow, our St. Patty's Day was pretty lowkey. I recall when Sissy was younger that St. Patrick's Day was a lively event at our house. She would sketch out and set up elaborate leprechaun traps and I would plan elaborate leprechaun responses and top it off with a themed dinner.

That was then. 

Sissy is older now and doesn't want a leprechaun. Booney is also older now and doesn't remember to plan for holidays. Or perhaps she remembers but is tired and slightly lazy so she doesn't do it...you can decide.

I did manage to rummage through the closet and find our St. Patrick's Day dress-up garb. And I did actually plan a green dinner. (Twas the night before mind you, but let's not split hairs.)

Baby went nuts for the green Jello and Mykey went nuts for the green shepherd's pie. You're welcome.

We had a marvelous day and no one was pinched. 

Sissy did admit that she's excited to build a leprechaun trap with Baby next year.

That makes my heart happy. 

We're coming back for you, Molly McGee!
