We had a fun family night last Monday and celebrated St. Patty's Day early.
Holly made popovers and we had green beans and Irish meatballs with green mashed potatoes too!
The new way to teach a lesson is with the laptop! Drew talked about who St. Patrick was and how he helped the Irish gain religious freedom.
Then we sang and danced to our favorite Irish jig,"McKinney is Dead".
Instead of "Duck Duck Goose" we played "Blarney Blarney Stone".
Shera made up a "Shamrock 3 Wishes List" for us. I wished that I could eat anything and not gain weight, that I could stay awake all the time and never need sleep and still not get sick, and that my dad and our old dog, Tawny, could come back to us and be healthy. I was a terrible example and very selfish with my wishes. Our kid's wishes, on the other hand, were more selfless and loving to each other - wishing for Holly's jaw to heal, Drew to get back on his mission, and world peace!(Again - am I a BAD MOTHER or what??? JK)
For dessert, Holly made green cupcakes! Yummo!

Where do you guys find time to make all this stuff? Looked like fun!
I like your three wishes. :) But your kids wishes are a testament to what a great mother you are!
I like Shera's shamrock wish lists. How clever!
