Sick on St. Patrick's Day

It's not unusual to be sick on St. Patrick's Day though usually it's a self-induced illness. After 2 days of breathing treatments Maison was feeling much better so we decided to take her out to eat in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. I don't know what looks more green our outfits or our skin tones from illness and lack of sleep...

Happy St. Paddy's from Camp Gooey

Mommy and Daddy are on their way to Moab so I'm hangin out at Camp Gooey waiting for the St. Paddy's day party to begin...

No green beer this year

In year's past on St. Patrick's day you could find us sitting in our favorite pub drinking our weight in green beer but not this year.  Not only did I not want to be the recipient of the line from "Sweet Home Alabama"..."you have a baby, in a bar" the thought of hours wasted sitting in a bar when I could be sleeping, shoveling sh*t at my house, or doing anything remotely productive was a little nauseating.

So for Maison's 1st St. Patrick's day, she dressed up in her "Kiss me.." green shamrock footie and spent the day with her Nooey and the night with mommy and daddy.

     

Aside....what's up with my kid and wearing weird things on her head?  Yes, that is a onesie she is sporting in the first pic.  She's the only baby I know that doesn't cry when something is on her head!

Mommy and Daddy did have 1 beer each and no they were not green...actually they weren't even Irish....they were Hawaiian Longboard Lagers ;o)

If it's a holiday, it's a party!

If it's printed on a calendar as a holiday chances are my parents will have a party to celebrate it.  This year for St. Patrick's day my mom decided to have a traditional St. Paddy's day party complete with traditional irish foods - she made:  irish stew, irish soda bread, and potato soup.  She also made 'back up' food for Shari and me:  chicken and mashed pots since we tend to not like anything unless it's is traditionally plain.  And what's a st paddy's party without green and guinness?
