There's still snow on the ground here in Chicago so we had a nice indoor morning. Started off the with a little potting of shamrocks with Harry. What better way to get to know his roots than with some simple gardening. He mostly tried to pull the shamrocks off the stems!

Doesn't he look like a little leprechaun with red hair here! So cute!

Jonny and I are doing a bit of work this morning but dedicating the afternoon to good quality family-time to remember our home country. It's hard being away from home on days like today so we might might even pop out to one of our fav restaurants/bars here in town called The Chicago Cut and grab an Irish Roast Beef Lunch for comfort! I thought it would be funny to carry Harry's water in this 'sippy cup' today! Haha!

Thanks Vee, Janelle and Axl! They know us well!

We have the babysitter booked for tonight and we are heading out for some drinks with friends. It would be unpatriotic not to, sure! Well, I lie, the babysitter actually booked herself as she knows us so well and presumed we would be heading out tonight!

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day and don't forget to 'wet the shamrock' as they say, which simply means go have some drinks!

Here's a funny joke a friend sent to me this a.m that I will leave you all with...'An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of grass to keep him from falling off the earth!'

Happy Paddy's Day! (Not Patty's)
