We had a fun St. Patricks Day this year. The kids were super excited and talked me into having a little party for the kids in our neighborhood. We started the day off with Irish Pancakes which didn't go over as well as I had planned - they didn't like them :( Kami had her friend Adriel come over and they decorated cupcakes and cookies. Then we did it again in the afternoon! It was a little crazy but that's pretty normal for us IRISH! The kids are really proud to be 1/2 Irish and told their friends that they didn't have to wear green because their blood is green! lol....... ah now, Dad you'd be proud! Ryan made a leprechaun trap for school and was seriously excited that "Lucky" showed up and caused some havoc in their classroom. I think he relates to the mischief of the leprechauns. We never make Corn Beef and Cabbage - mostly because I dont like it - so we just had a regular dinner. I did wear my 100% Irish Button, even to the gym. I guess Im pretty proud to be Irish. My friend asked me if I consider myself more Irish or American or both (because I do have US citizenship). I told her that I would never mention to anyone that Im "American" without saying I was born and raised in Ireland but I would say to people that "I'm Irish" and not mention my US citizenship....sooooo???? I dont know...Im proud of my US citizenship and feel patriotic about America but Irelands in my heart and always will be.
