today.

Today I wore my shamrock earrings.

Today I watched Dublin's parade on tv.

Today mom and I made shamrock-shaped sugar cookies. 

 |Please ignore the fact that shamrocks are supposed to have 3 leaves...not 4.|

Today I photographed all the green things I can find.

 |rugby ball|

Today I made soda bread (recipe to come soon.)

|Mmmmmmmmmmmm.|

Today we ate cabbage.

Today I watched this video. (warning: annoying music.)

  Why? Because today is St. Patrick's day - the day that celebrates Ireland. We don't usually celebrate St. Patrick's day much...but today I wanted to make it special. Just for the craic. ;)

finally...

...a post! "Write a blog post" has been on my To-do list all week. But things kept getting in the way. By things I mainly mean school. Not only is it just harder this year, I have to do extra school-work in order to be finished by the time we have to leave to go to America for the summer.

I love going to America - seeing lots of friends and family and all - but I get home-sick just thinking of leaving Ireland.


On a happier note - the other day Caleb (my 10 year old brother) and I took a walk down to the lake (It's really close by - only like a ten minute walk) and fortunately I took the camera along. It was really beautiful! Here's some of the pictures I took:





I have more things to say, I wish I could just ramble on and on! But - I should save some things for other posts :) Have a great day!
