Have I mentioned our family loves holidays? Any sort really, we love to have a good reason to mix it up. Well, late last night my hubby reminded me about St Patrick's Day & at 11pm I made a last minute run for Corned Beef, Carrots, Potatoes & Cabbage to make for a festive dinner. Any excuse to cook potatoes with dinner is good for Cory. I actually remember many years ago my husband sharing with me about the Irish's huge reliance on the potato crop, who knew? Anyway...
Working 4-10's my days are long, but tonight I came home to a great little dinner party. Two very excited kids & a husband that did a fabulous job at organizing our St. Patty's Feast. It included The Corn Beef mentioned above, green poppy seed muffins (made by Avery & Cory) on our green platter, green peppercorns, green punch & of course Guinness Stout (even if I only took a sip!). Avery & Caleb made sure everyone had their touch of green on. 4 is the greatest age because they are really getting a huge understanding of the holidays and what they are about. And it was just a fun little excuse to have a party!
