Today, I'll be Irish.

I am technically a mix of Scottish and German, but today we will pretend I'm Irish.  (My maiden name is McNair, so it will be rather difficult, but I'm going to just go with it......)

This morning I got dressed in my green finest (I like to think that a high school student would not pinch me for not wearing green, but let's all be honest, my cheerleaders would REVEL in being able to pinch me.)

I NEVER wear this skirt because it's just too much green....but it felt appropriate for today!

I made a delicious Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner:

I chopped up vegetables for dinner

Next I pulled out my birthday present from my parents - a big giant crockpot!  Yay!

Then I put it all together and set it in the fridge.  It was husband's job to put it in the crockpot and turn the crockpot on.  (sad truth is that my day is too long for it to cook all day, so he is going to set it when he leaves at 9:30 vs. my 6:45.)

 

Then spent my day at school explaining to ELD students why we wear green today.  After cheer practice, I headed home and finished preparing THE EASIEST dinner EVER!  I need to start using my crockpot a lot more often!

Clearly Andrew was happy with the dinner! :)

I teased him that his green shirt was a Nintendo shirt....
