Happy St. Patrick's day everyone.
My two older kids (8 & 6) are in the parade and I am a marshall, so there is great excitement in the house now! Nails are painted with the Irish flag and kids have temporary face tatoos of shamrocks. I have green cookies and Irush flag pancakes made. I usually fast on Mondays, but I havent yet decided about tomorrow. It might be and easy fast as the day will be busy.

I hope you all get to experiance a little bit if Irish "craic" at some stage.

(Can I just add, that in Ireland we dont actually drink green beer!)

Enjoy your day! Why fast,it's a celebration day! X only comes once a year! X

St Paddys Day Parades everywhere here! Being half Irish I approve!

Happy St Patrick's day!!! I have 2 Patrick's at my house. My hubs middle name is Patrick and we named our youngest (15 years old) Patrick. I said Patrick why don't you wear your big green velvet floppy Irish hat to school to celebrate your Saints day???? He declined. Wonder why?
