Leprechauns and Rainbows

Last night for dinner, we had loaded baked potatoes and salad. We were reading about why potatoes were so important to Ireland and about the plant disease that attacked the Irish potato crop in 1845 that eventually led to the famine. So during dinner, our doorbell rang three times and the kids answered the door to find no one there. This has happened for the last three years on St. Patrick's Day! They found a note from their friend the leprechaun and some magic powder. They were instructed to add magic moo to the magic powder and it magically makes a green yummy treat! Here is a picture of Helen after she shook up her magic powder and magic moo and another pic of her tasting the green treat!

Yum!

I made a new St. Patrick's Day treat for dessert last night. It was a rainbow cake! This was SO fun and it turned out pretty cute! Here is a picture of the sliced cake and another couple of pics of a slice of the cake, including one with a "cloud" of Cool Whip! I thought it turned out so pretty!
