Our Lucky Day!


Lily's heart clovers

My "clovers"






Hope all of you had a wonderfully fun St. Patrick's Day! Even though this isn't a big holiday somehow I feel more connected to it since Joe's family is so Irish! And I think Lily looks more Irish than anything else with her fair skin, light eyes, and strawberry blond hair. Too bad I didn't have much green to dress her up in yesterday, but we did have a lot of fun with some St. Patrick's Day crafts! Here you'll see her coloring a special St. Patricks Day page I found online (http://www.familyfun.com/- it's a great resource) and we also attempted to make a potatoe stamp! The directions said to make a heart shape and put 3 or 4 hearts together to make a clover. So, they didn't exactly come out looking like clovers- but as you can see Lily had a really good time playing with the stamp in the paint! We also had a very festive dinner of corned beef and loaded baked potatoes (no cabbage for us)! We finished off the evening with mint/oreo milkshakes (maybe not Irish, but at least it was green)! Hope your day was as lucky as ours!
