St-Patrick's Day

A special for the kids.

Last year, I made green eggs and ham for dinner, along with green jell-o and green cupcakes. The kids loved everything but I found it hard to eat green eggs and green ham, lol. So, this year, I am making a tradional irish meal. At least, I hope it is, lol.

I have a roast beef in the oven and will add cabbage to it later on. I will also prepare parsley dumplings and irish soda bread. We already baked a very beautiful rainbow cake and some cookies. My sugar cookie recipe is terrible but it tastes good and the kids had the greatest time ever cutting then decorating the cookies, all in green. They did not stick with just shamrock, they got the Halloween and Easter cookie cutters, lol.

Not much homeschooling done but between the few hours they spent playing outside with the kids, the cooking, baking and reading they did, I feel they learned just as much. Right?
