Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Thursday, March 17th, was St. Patrick's Day.  We invited Grandma and Verbon for supper and had corned beef and cabbage and  coconut cake for dessert.

Layne wore the same shirt this year that she wore last year.  It says Mom's Lucky Charm on it, and isn't that the truth.  She and Sutton are my two little lucky charms.  I couldn't find Sutton a shirt in his size, but I made sure he wore green.



This was the easiest dessert ever.  I just bought a Pepperidge Farm coconut cake and made a rainbow out of Skittles. ( I just couldn't make a homemade cake and not eat any.  I gave up sweets for Lent.)

I don't know why I didn't get any pictures at supper.  I wish that I had.  While we ate, Sutton cruised around the table trying to get somebody to hold him and let him throw things off the table.  I think he already knows that mom is a sucker.  She picked him up every time.

In the past week Layne has said some really cute things.  The other night in bed, she said, "Mom, I know Sutton and I are from China, but where are you and dad from?"  I answered her, "We're from here."  So she said, "I know, but where did grandma go to get you?"  So I just said, "Missouri."  Layne's eyes got huge and she said, "Wow!  She went that far to get you."  Then she asked me where all of her friends' mothers had gone to get them.

I was clearing the table after supper a couple of nights ago, and Bobby told Layne to pay attention because one day she would have to do it.  Layne said very seriously, "No, I won't.  I'll tell my husband to do it."  I like the way she thinks.
