St. Patrick's Day...

Thanks to all of you fellow bloggers out there -- I quickly realized that I had not missed St. Patricks Day and I was still going to beable to create a fun day of green for my little ones.

It started out with a perfect morning... the kids sleeping in until about 9:00 am. Hoo-ray! Scott and I were able to lay in bed and listen to nothing but peace. It was wonderful. Although, you would think that I would have taken that opportunity to get up and prepare a nice breakfast? Nope. I went to the store and bought St. Patrick's Day donuts. Breakfast for champions right? Later that night we had Melis and Jack over for the traditional Irish dinner... Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes, and Rolls. Melis made Apple Pie for dessert. It was all so yummy.
After dinner we were talking to the boys about Leprachauns and searching all over the house to see if we could find one... when suprise suprise... the doorbell rang and the leprachaun (thanks Jessie) left a pot of gold for the boys!
These 2 can have alot of fun together. The past week has been a good one.
Clara was in love. She could not stop playing with Jacks hair and rolling on top of him. It was funny watching Scott get all worked up about his little girl. We might have a wild ones on our hands....
I love this.
Our green family.

We had a great day celebrating our family's heritage.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

This was so much fun spending it with you guys! It was quite entertaining to see Scott get worked up about little Clara being all up in Jackson's grill :) That was a delicious dinner! You've never made a less than perfect one. You are amazing McCall. I love your family. I'll be seeing you soon!
