St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  We had a fun time celebrating!

We spent the week listening to Irish music and having some fun lunches - shamrock sandwiches and a fun backyard picnic, and ...

... tri-colored buttered noodles and shamrock cheese.  (Too bad it wasn't real Irish butter and cheese!)

Then on Saturday we went all out!  For breakfast we had green bagels and green smoothies.  (I decided not to attempt a full Irish breakfast - neither black or white pudding being readily available around here.)

Molly didn't have a St. Patrick's Day shirt this year, but it's OK - she had green bows and shamrock socks. =)

For lunch we had fish & chips!

and a fruit rainbow

We enjoyed telling the kids about Ireland and looking at books and pictures and listening to lots of Irish music.

For dinner we had Guinness beef stew (no picture, sorry!) and Irish car bomb cupcakes (and an alcohol-free version for the kids).  What a fun day! =)
