Happy St Patty's Day!

Every year growing up my Mom, who served her mission in Ireland, would celebrate St Patty's Day! It was another holiday in our home. My Dad had a special tye he'd wear to work, or say his eyes were green, which doesn't count so we'd pinch him. We all put on our green. My Mom would make us a really fun lunch full of lots of green things to take to school, etc. But the best part was the meal. Corn beef and cabbage! To some that might sound gross, but it is so yummy.
So in our house now we do the same. To Russ the smell of it makes him gag, of course. So I do it as a lunch. St Patty's falls during spring break so we can eat it during lunchtime and try our darndest to get the smell out before Russ gets home. :)
First, though I make the kids go on a scavenger hunt all over the house looking for our "pot of gold" from the Leprachaun. I make up really cheesy riddles that make no sense, but totally rhyme and they find their stash of candy. During the hunt one of the clues makes them pose for the camera.
We had our friends over for the lunch this year and it was yummy! We even had a green pistachio bread that was so good. Can you tell I love food too much?
Happy St Patty's!!
