St. Pat's Survived!

The final cup/coffee cup/sippy cup has been found.
All the sheets and towels are clean (one last load in the dryer to still fold).
The house is somewhat back in order.

Yes we have survived another St. Pat's Celebration, and as the men declared on Sunday as they finished the keg - we've still got it.

Our festivities started on Friday night with the annual fish fry due to lent. We had some delicious catfish and other fried goodies. Then continued to drink the night away - boat races and car bombs included. The majority of the ladies retired around midnight because we knew we were the ones that were going to have to get up with the kids Saturday morning.....oh - and don't forget the fireworks from our neighbors at 2 AM.

Here are our two early risers helping make green pancakes, or as Ashley said, guacamole.



They are taking turns stirring, which actually worked out pretty well.

It may not look that great now, but the kids loved their green pancakes, even a couple adults did as well.

Due to the rain on Saturday we took the older kids to Bonker's. It's an indoor fun zone. This was the only picture I got of them and Aidan is behind the pole. The majority of the time they were about 20 ft up in the air climbing/sliding around. It worked out well for Wendy, Jenn, and I as we just had to sit and wave every now and then. Where is Megan you might ask - at Hooters with the guys. Apparently she is a waitress magnet.

Saturday was mostly recovery (as usual) from Friday. Boondock Saints 1 & 2, The Hangover (very appropriate for the day) and then corned beef for dinner. We had a very laid back Saturday evening and I think the latest someone was up was 11 pm. So everyone was nice and somewhat rested for Sunday and their travel home. Our house was cleared out by noonish, and Tim and I started the cleaning. It actually went pretty quick and we have found most of the toys that were missing pieces, pacifiers, puzzles, etc. that had been lost.

Have a Happy St. Pat's on Wednesday!
