Our boys are Liam, Sean and Brendan...so yes, we're Irish. My boys had Lucky Charms for breakfast but if you don't have any, you can always mix a little green food coloring in their oatmeal to give it the Irish feel.
For lunch, make a potato soup. It will be a hearty meal to keep them warm while they watch the parade in your town (if you have one). Before you head out for the day's festivities, prepare the Crock pot Corned Beef and Cabbage and your Irish dinner will be ready for you when you return.
You can also set up a scavenger hunt for the kids with a Pot O' Gold at the end of a rainbow. Have the kids paint shamrocks and make St. Patrick's Day cards for family and friends.
A fun family project that everyone can enjoy is to visit www.jibjab.com and make a funny card with pictures of you and your kids! I made one yesterday and the kids love it!
If you've arranged a babysitter for this evening to head out and have some green beer with friends, please remember to celebrate responsibly.
And have a blessed and fun St. Patrick's Day!
