St. Paddy's Day 2011

And how did we celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year? With... FOOD! Green food.
This morning Jeremy got to try out his new pancake pen. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for the birthday money.

Green St. Patrick's themed pancakes.

For after school snack we made crispy rice treats in the shape of shamrocks. Can you believe that our set of 101 cookie cutters we got for Valentine's Day doesn't have any shamrock cookie cutters? Well, we adapted.

And for dinner- fettucini alfredo (green sauce), steamed veggies (I wanted more than just broccoli, even though it's the only one that was green), and green colored flavored sugar water. Jeremy called the dinner, "fettigreeni." Tee Hee.

The baby and I are getting over being sick so we didn't go beyond fun food for celebrating this holiday. But the kids had fun. And if they didn't, they couldn't hold it against us because tomorrow, March 18, is Forgive Mom and Dad Day.

  1. Fetagreenie sounds delicious. Too bad you can only eat it once a year.

  3. Jeremy found out about the pancake pen while he was doing balloons at the Brick Oven. Somebody having a birthday party opened a present of... a pancake pen. And since Jeremy loves making shapes in pancakes anyway...
