Celebrating the Irish

In trying to get the munchkins in touch with their "Irish" ancestry, I thought it would be fun to attend the annual St. Patrick's Day Dinner at our Church. The kids were really excited and went to great extremes rummaging through drawers in search of GREEN articles of clothing to cwear. The advertised menu of corn beef, cabbage and soda bread did not even dampen their spirits. Big Sister had the inside gossip (pizza was to be the alternative entree).

Although, Little Dude M had the tummy bug the evening prior, he perked up enough to join us in the festivities. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves, especially since a few classmates were hanging around. I was enjoying the music and songs of my young adulthood when I would frequent those Irish Pubs/Piano bars. One can never get to much of "Those Silly Unicorns." If anything, the munchkins were intrigued that I knew several of the Irish ditties.
