In the midst of our craziness these days, I didn't even realize it was St. Patrick's Day today. So I had nothing prepared in advance, not that I do on most days. We ended up learning about the origin of the holiday, the story behind the shamrock, and those pesky Leprechauns. The girls loved making and decorating shamrocks.
As they were busy working away, I thought what else could we do to incorporate this Irish culture into our lives for the day. We listened to Irish pub music, which the girls greatly enjoyed. Then we made our first ever Irish Soda bread, it was delish. My oldest who is only six, made the correlation between it and corn bread, which she has only had, as far as I can remember once in her life. They devoured the bread and wanted more. We even had to have some for dinner tonight.
Hope the luck of the Irish was with you today. Sweet dreams of Leprechauns.
