Saint Patrick's Day

I have decided that I want to make holidays more exciting around here. I am not the world's most creative person, so I did a few fun things for St. Patrick's Day...nothing big...baby steps, okay? And, I forgot to take pictures of the things I did do.
So, I made Justin a green egg sandwich for breakfast, and colored some milk green for him. He ate it, but had to close his eyes to not see that it was green!
Austin got to go to swim lessons in the morning. Then we came home, and just hung out around the house. He spent a good bit of time reading books.

Jeri and Lexi came over to join us for our St. Patrick's Day feast. We had corned beef (Austin LOVED it!) and cabbage and a loaf of green bread (he also loved the colored bread!). For dessert we had shamrock shaped sugar cookies with green frosting and sprinkles, and eclairs with green frosting (thanks Jeri!). I did get pictures of Austin enjoying dessert. It is my only proof that we did anything somewhat festive for the day!

Hopefully I can do more next year, when Austin understands a little better what is going on!
