It's St. Patrick's Day and I just couldn't let it pass without popping in to say Happy St. Patrick's Day! We have been a little under the weather, but we are all feeling a wee bit better.
I served our family's traditional St. Patrick's Day meal tonight (not traditional in Ireland) and I learned that my husband really does have the luck of the Irish. During dinner, he told the children that he was going to make something special for all of us after dinner. He made and served green milkshakes. After drinking her milkshake, Catherine commented, "You're the best Daddy in the whole world!" Hmm, my Irish husband spent approximately 10 minutes making milkshake and receives that compliment. I spent I don't know how long preparing dinner and not a thing was said. :)
We have been enjoying these books (also listed in my sidebar):

Isn't that how it always is? I suppose it's because the Dad only "cooks" on special occasions but Mom does it every day.
