Where have YOU been?!! It's been a wild wild 1.5 weeks...
The puppies have gotten bigger.
As has Leon...
I got to spend a full day with Maddy thrifting and finding little known shops all around central Iowa that we never knew existed! We now know where to find a fringed hippy jacket for around $8.
That place was cool!
And it took these girls a little bit to realize that, while it may seem like a funky idea at the time, to hold the camera upside down for a photo. It's really just a photo that is upside down. The camera takes the same picture no matter how you hold it...
The Friday before St. Patrick's Day, Robb, Maddy and I cooked and cooked all day. We got everything ready for our annual meal that night out at my bestie's. Below are a few of the items.
Corned beef and cabbage, because everyone thinks that's all the Irish eat. So it's there by obligation.
Dublin Coddle. I overcooked it a bit much... But it was still delish! Next time you make stew, add sausage, bacon and apple cider!
Brown bread, made in my bread machine.
New dish this year, Irish Beef Hand Pies! We made them the week earlier for when my nieces and their boyfriends came over for dinner. It was a hit then so we included it in this years meal.
Leeks in cream sauce! That's always a hit and was almost all gone...
So that was the end of Maddy's spring break and she headed back to school on Sunday. She spent most of her free time memorizing her lines for the part of Missy in Rumplestiltskin in her school's children's theater production! I can't wait to go see it! I miss her already.

We didn't celebrate this year. Poor Den, his Irish side has been neglected. But he did drink so that might make up for some of it.
