St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick’s Day felt a little strange this year.  Grandma has always done a traditional dinner with corned beef and cabbage.  But especially since Husband and Grandpa were away on business, I decided not to attempt it myself.  Instead we played at home.  And I think ate pizza.  (this is why I need to blog more consistently, and right away.)  Anyway.  The night before, the girls went to bed eagerly anticipating mischief and disappointed that we ran out of time and I wouldn’t let them stay up late to set traps.  But much to their delight, there was a trail of Lucky Charms leading down the hall and all the way into the pantry where something had obviously tipped over a big box of the cereal and tracked it everywhere.  And then they found chocolate coins hidden throughout the house.  They wore green, they colored pictures and had school parties.  They were thrilled.
