Happy St. Patricks’ Day

I guess due to the fact that I was a nerd-bomber growing up, I didn’t really like St. Patricks Day.  I remember it was always hard to find something green to wear; I was terrified of being pinched.  I don’t know if it’s the change in the times, or living in the Midwest, but it’s different here.  They dye the river green in Chicago; beer, of course, is dyed green everywhere…wannabe Milwaukee has a parade like Chicago.  At any rate, I think it’s a fun thing for my kids.  This year, we tried building a leprechan trap.   The past few years, we’ve had a sneaky leprechan that manages to get into our fridge and dye our milk green on St. Patty’s Day.  We wanted to put it to a stop this year.  Sadly, we didn’t catch him and he still got to our milk.  The kids are STILL talking about how to rebuild a better “trap” next year.
