St. Patrick's Day

For St. Patty's Day this year we couldn't do our usual tradition of going to an Irish pub and getting wasted. Three reasons. One, I am pregnant and can not have more than one drink a day. And two there are no Irish pubs anywhere near us. And three, I've been in a lot of pain from my uterus pushing into my ribs and didn't want to be out somewhere and miserable.

So instead we stayed in. But I think all in all it wasn't a bad day. Started it out with breakfast...lucky charms and Irish coffee.




Josh got up early and started a traditional Irish stew in the crock pot to cook all day. It turned out delicious!



I also made brownies and dessert bars for us and for our neighbors. The dessert bars were green and mint flavored of course and the brownies were just regular chocolate brownies but I dyed the frosting green and had rainbow colored sprinkles on them.

And we watched Boondock Saints...one of the best movies to watch on St. Patrick's Day I think. I had to go to bed somewhat early due to being in extreme pain but all in all I think it was a good day.
