The party must go on....

Who doesn't love an April Fool's Day St. Patrick's Day Party?!?!?

Hannah helps our littlest pinata basher, Koa!

When you already have 70lbs of corned beef and a full case of potatoes in your garage, never mind the fact that your kids harass you daily about when THE PARTY will be, you find a way to throw the party. Even if you're tired.  Even if the weather is sketchy.  Even if you've been at a dead run.  Even if your house is messy.  Even if it's spring break AND april fool's day.

And party we did...   Somehow, the house got cleaned. The crock pots showed up.  The food got made. The yard got straightened. The pinata got hung.  The beer got iced.  I got showered. The green croquet jacket was located.  Green shirts were donned.  People showed up.  Food was eaten.  The weather held.  A good time was had.

Hannah even decided to spend the night at Jim's that night.  Which mean, for the first time since March 13, I slept through the night.  I'm pretty sure I was asleep before the last people turned off my street....
