St. Patrick's Day!

I like to talk to the kids about the calendar at the beginning of each month (we have a big dry erase calendar that they help with) and give them a heads up on what to expect, what to look forward to, and any other exciting things that might happen that month, for example holidays
So I brought them to the calendar...


and was explaining March, which is pretty busy with Callen and Brian's Birthdays, kindergarten registration, first day of preschool, Daddy is going out of town for a few days, soccer is starting, and then I got to St. Patrick's Day and Addie says (if you know her well and can picture her matter of factly voice saying this it is really funny)

"Oh, oh, oh, yeah mom, I know what that is. That is Dad's friend from work, That is his day right?"
So I promptly told her "Yes!" the whole world celebrates Patrick Pinkston for a day! So needless to say I will be making Patrick a very special treat and sending it to work with Brian on St. Patrick's Day!!
