So, today is St. Pat's Day. I still wear green as to not get pinched and made sure that all three kids at least had a green shirt to wear. Dasher thought he had to wear all green, so he was nervous about getting pinched because he only had a green shirt. Anyway, he did not get pinched. I also told me that he shouldn't pinch anybody as to not get in trouble. I mean who knows what lawsuit could've come from that.
The other day I was at the grocery store, and noticed that they had corned beefs on sale. I have never tried this, and I thought it would be fun to do some sort authentic Irish meal. Well, my family is not a huge a fan of cabbage( I am, just no one else) so we did mashed potatoes that I colored green, to go along with the beef. Well, the meat was not that great. I just slow cooked it all day like it said, and it is really greasy and has a "pickling spice" taste to it. If anyone has suggestions on how else to cook it, please let me know. If not, we will just stick to roast.
Dasher made a leprachaun face at school. When I first saw him wear it, it was dark, so I couldn't see the colors. All I could see was a top hat and beard, I thought Abe Lincoln. Nick quickly corrected me. Above are some pictures of the kids with their green on.
ps this am I thought it would be fun to have green syrup with our french toast.... well, the kids did not even try it. It was just green color to karo syrup. Where is their sense of adventure?
Twelve little eyes that "blink, blink, blink" Twelve little eyes that SEE! Head and shoulders, knees and toes, and many more things make Nick, Heidi, Dasher, Emmah, Bosston, and Lucy! ding

I suggest just sticking to the roast. My mom once tried the corned beef-didn't go over that well and needless to say she has not made it since and neither have I. That is exciting that you are going to your HS reunion. That will be a great little vacation.
