We had lots of fun on St. Patrick's Day, getting into the spirit of things with green pancakes and milk for breakfast. Lucy also joined the party by knocking over the huge container of syrup and then proceeding to play in it. It was my fault because I forgot she can reach and grab everything these days. But she looked at me with those big blue eyes and was so pleased with herself that I couldn't get mad.
Ben's outfit change once he found out about being pinched if he wasn't wearing green.
We then made shamrocks that I cut out and Ben decorated. If you're thinking that they look like they were made by a child, it's a testament to my nonexistent art skills.
Spent the afternoon whipping up some green goodies for dinner - pesto, of course.
Super-easy and yummy Irish Brown Bread. Not green, but fairly authentic Irish fare.
The finished meal with green lemonade, spinach and pear salad, and green Jell-O. How did you celebrate St. Patty's Day?

Ben's face is the essence of blue steel. I died of laughter when I saw the first picture.
We got shamrock shakes and let McDonald's do the St. Patty's day cooking:) I am not ashamed.
I celebrated by forgetting about it most of the day and not wearing any green. But it was also the first day I "got dressed" (AKA not just a t shirt and sweats) since Ethan's arrival. Go me!
I made that bread too! But no green dinner. Just not our year I guess.
