St Patrick's Feast Day.....Hurrah!!!
What did we do to celebrate?
Well the first thing Moran did was to look for some clover as we have done in the past. Except it is much harder to find clover here than in our Tasmania house. Poor Moran looked all over with no success until we told her there was a small patch just outside the chicken coop.
We decorated the house with some of out already made decorations from past years. We made nothing new this year.
Colouring pages are a big hit in our house every feast day.
Followed closely by word searches, mazes and crossword puzzles.
As the children work I read from our selection of picture books
We had already read one of our St Patrick books at breakfast (so it is not pictured)
Jamie O'Rourke is a huge favourite not only on St Patrick's Day but through out the year. Of course the Darby O'Gill books are fun for older readers but we could not watch the movie as Autumn had taken it to Sydney with her.
Moran was very patriotic and dressed her dolls in a semi green outfit each and then covered them with the clover she had picked.
Lunch was a traditional clover leaf sandwich using both cucumber and gherkin and the Irish flag using celery, cheese and carrot.
Moving on to dinner we decorated the table and had
Corned Beef,mashed potato, cabbage and then a mixture of green, white and orange vegetables
Rogan made Irish Soda bread which we love and we had some left over for breakfast the next day.
Doesn't it look good!!!!
After dinner when everyone else went to bed and it was just me and my cup of coffee I decided it was time for a little Baileys Irish Cream and a browse through a good book.
Not too shabby an end to a very busy feast Day
Happy St Patrick's Day to You!!!
Blessings to you and your homes,

Thank you all for your comments. We really love celebrating this and I actually think we had a stress free day which is very good for us on a feast day as I often want to do too much
