Ever since my college days where March 17th was a huge holiday, I have loved St. Patrick's day. I'm 1/8th Irish, but happy to say that through good breeding my children are all 1/3 Irish. Cameron fully embracing his Irish heritage, set out a leprechaun trap before going to bed last night which involved a box filled with shiny metal objects to attract the leprechaun. His contraption was unsuccessful at capturing the leprechaun, but it did leave evidence of its visit, taking the shiny coins and leaving a shamrock and green glitter in its place. The same tricky leprechaun got into the milk, coloring it green before breakfast time. Tonight we all sat down for some corned beef and cabbage and Irish soda bread, and enjoyed our Irish roots!
So cute that Cam set a leprechaun trap! As far as I know, we are not the least bit Irish, but my husband loves the corned beef and cabbage meal on St. Patrick's Day. However, this year we held off (at the suggestion of our Irish neighbors) and bought our corned beef today when it was on sale at the grocery store just down the road. So, we were all dressed in green for St. Paddy's day, but we'll be enjoying our traditional meal this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the trap! ha ha!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is amazing how early the girls get into dressing up, isn't it? I think my twins see their big sister dressing up and want to play too. I just bought some big Easter hats at Target for $1 each and they are in heaven!
