St. Patrick's Day

We had our 4th concert for the Family Series with the Phoenix Symphony today. B had 4 calls, so I asked my sister to come along with us. It was a wonderful concert! Full of Irish music and a delightful all-female Irish folk music band named "Cherish the Ladies." They were fantastic and it was a wonderful way to spend St. Patrick's Day! I picked up a couple of their CD's, but didn't wait for any autographs. Their leader, Joanie Madden, was a hoot! She bantered back and forth with the guest conductor and had the audience in stitches.

We stopped at Pei Wei's for dinner and came home to find DH already home. It turns out that 3 of his 4 calls for today canceled! I sent the boys in with him and my sister and I made a run to Cost Plus World Market so I could get fillings for Easter baskets. I feel better knowing that we're set just in case the baby shows up very early! I found some fun small toys, as well as cute candies to put in their baskets this year.

Tomorrow I'll make our traditional St. Pat's dinner of corned beef, potatoes, carrots and soda bread (no raisins or caraway in mine -- I do traditional soda bread!)

And, to end the post, here's a shot of my 31 week, 3 day belly . . . . (that's measuring more like 34 weeks . . . )
