There are certain feast days in our house that are seriously important. St. Patrick's day is one of them! My mom being Irish ( maiden name is Sheridan), we do things right by her heritage. My dad, an amazing cook, makes made-from-scratch corned beef. I mean, he makes the brine from scratch, leaves the brisket in a BIG tub of said brine, in the garage for 2 weeks, kind of homemade! Its AWESOME! Each year, I pass through the garage for 2 weeks, and smell the vinegar and garlic! It's intoxicating! I look forward to it every year. I was especially glad this year that I was not pregnant ( 3 of my 4 kiddies were born in late Oct/Nov, therefore I am in the middle of my first trimester usually). Morning sickness can really put a damper on my eating festivities!
My sweet shamrocks had such fun this day! We made some crafts, and the started learning to
sew! We played outside with our new neighbors, who are so sweet and have kids the same ages as mine! It was great fun!
