What color are you mommy?

OK, so yesterday was St. Patrick's day and boy did we have a fun filled day of all things green. First off Ben is part Irish and to help the boy's understand some of their heritage we talked about St. Patrick's Day and where Ireland is and ect.... now one cant go to deep with a 5year old and 2 year old but on the way to preschool Keaton was verifying that he is Irish and Ryan is Irish, and Daddy is Irish, then he got to me. "Mommy are you Irish?????" my response," No , honey I am not.". Keaton, " Well then what color are you mommy, we are all Irish green, what is your color if your not Irish?" I almost peed my pants the way he asked me this question. It was so Innocent and cute. I tried to explain my heritage and this was going no where as he just isn't ready so I just laughed and told him I would have to find out what color I was and get back to him on that!!!!

I am really loving days like yesterday. Despite being huge and uncomfortable I am still trying to do as much fun stuff with the boys as possible and yesterday was one of those day that I just love. We made cupcakes with green frosting,sprinkles and mini-chocolate chips, gold coin wafers. The boys are so much fun to cook with now, Ryan actually participates and is helpful and Keaton is going to be a chef one day as he's so good in the kitchen. I hope days like these build wonderful memories as they grow up.

We had a great St. Patty's Day with family over, I cooked a big thing of corn beef and cabbage and all the fixing's. Others drank some good beer, the kids played outside (thank god for the nice weather), darts and Wii battles were had and a good time was had by all. I am looking forward to next year when I can actually drink some green beer and work in the kitchen with out fighting thru on and off contractions. I'm already looking forward to our 3rd annual St. Patty's Day!!
