As you can see, we get a little excited around here about Saint Patrick’s Day.  The McGowan household is  all green today, and as of 9:00 a.m. this morning Colton, our grandson, officially turned 2 years old.

We did manage to find the lamb, at a hefty price I might add, so the Irish stew is on the menu for later on.  In a few hours we get to go to one of those kid’s birthday parties (for Colton) at some bouncy place.   It’s one of those fun places that kids love to hang out where they have all kinds of jumpy and bouncy things.  Don’t really know for sure since we’ve never been there, but it’s always fun to just watch the kids get wild and crazy and have a good time.

Quite frankly, Colton doesn’t even understand it’s his birthday today.  We called him this morning to tell him “Happy Birthday” and he didn’t seem to know or care what we were talking about.  Oh well, sometimes the kids birthdays just have to be all about the celebrating whether they understand what the day is all about or not.

Hope you all have a Happy St. Patty’s Day and don’t forget to wear your lucky green!
