We’ve been celebrating our little bit of Irish ancestry this week! Last Sunday we went to the West Warwick parade (but we made sure to leave before the parade of fire trucks – with sirens blaring – started). Everyone except Benjamin really enjoyed it. Julia particularly like watching the dancers and gymnasts. Benjamin was particularly squirmy whenever there was a loud noise and there were lots of loud noises!
Then Julia had a St. Patrick’s Day party at school on Thursday. It was complete with a rainbow fruit salad, cupcakes, and Julia’s first taste of Lucky Charms (she loved the marshmallows – no surprise there!).
Then, for the actual day, we had our corned beef dinner which we shared with lots of good company. For the second year in a row I brined my own corned beef and it was just as delicious this time around. But instead of the rest of the traditional boiled dinner I made colcannon – a yummy combination of mashed potatoes and sauteed cabbage and onions, and sauteed carrots. It was a fun night and there were green outfits all around!
