This Is How We O'Do It

For a family of four with barely enough Irish blood to fill 3/4 of a human, we went all out this year. Chimpy's familiarity with leprechauns (gained through multiple readings of one of her favorite library books, Jamie O'Rourke and the Giant Potato) set the stage for a very thorough St. Patrick's day. Her first concern was to protect herself from being pinched by leprechauns by wearing green. A lot of green.



Jojo, though fairly confident he could catch a leprechaun now that he outweighs one, decided to play it safe and wear green, too.



Chimpy, using JOatGP as a cookbook, stepped up to the plate crockpot and made some boiled potatoes (and corned beef and cabbage).

Mmmmm...


MWAH!



Passing up the corned beef, Jojo made himself a green dinner by mashing an avocado into his puréed banana.



And that was a terrific St. Patrick's day.
