St. Pattys Day

Saint Patrick's Day is a sweet holiday for us. It's a fun day to wear green and do activities with green but also a day to remember my sweet papal. March 17 was his birthday and we always go out to dinner to celebrate him - usually to his favorite restaurant Red Lobster. 
dressed like Grandpa! 
Since we went out to dinner on actual St Pattys day we made our traditional corned beef hash the night before. And since we were making eggs anyway, Ainsley got to have green eggs:) 
making this in cast iron skillet is where it's at
Driving to school I told Ainsley if she didn't have on green people would pinch her. She was very concerned about this and I told her it was just a pretend pinch. She made a green pasta necklace at school and learned about shamrocks. Parker and I enjoyed a nice walk. 
Dinner was great and we had so much fun having papal there in spirit. Ainsley got to pinch Pop and Aunt Ellen because they wore UK blue:)  And then we headed home to cheer on the cats! (ok lets be honest I was asleep before the game even started)
