Happy St. Patrick's Day -- or perhaps, "Top of the Mornin' To You!" hee hee. Love this crazy holiday. I can't resist holidays. ANY holiday. I'm Hallmark's dream girl.
I'm one of those crazy people who decorates for everything --at least a bit anyway. Sadly, I'm also a huge procrastinator, so my St. Patty's Day ideas are all still in my head, and not in hand.
Let's start with dinner -- we will be having Rob's favorite sandwich, "The Rueben". (I did do the grocery shopping... I'm not that far behind!) Don't think about the diet when you eat them, you'll regret it. I roast the meat and then slice it as thin as I can (which is still thickish -- I think that's the secret.)
Next fun thing that I want to make, but don't know if I'll have time...
These are from Bakerella, and are mint chocolate truffles. I think the kids would love these, and they'd be a great hit tonight at baseball practice. I'd be instantly the most popular parent in the world, and that's always a good thing. I'm not above some bribery.
This also looks divine to me...
This is from Skip to My Lou for Green Candied Popcorn. Eric would eat all of this within minutes of it hitting the table. I'd sadly watch him as I gave up sugar for Lent.
I might just whip up green milkshakes. That's always an easy treat that looks impressive if you're 8 years old. I'd still get "super mom" ranking without having to really do anything.
There are a ton of St. Patty's Day craft and card ideas out there -- I've been building a Best of the Blogoshere list just for today. Enjoy -- link me up if you make anything -- I'd love to see it!
Thanks so much!!! : ) : )
