With today being St. Patty’s Day, we just had to have a little something green - although I never knew it would bring out a monster before the night came to a close.
On the way home from work tonight, I stopped off at a local grocery store to pick up a 2-liter bottle of Green River to share a glass with the kids.
As we cracked open the bottle, my kids were anxiously awaiting the first sip of the green soda while my wife questioned my sanity for breaking out the camera to take pictures.
Honestly, I grabbed the first glass cup in the cabinet and had to laugh at the irony of drinking my Green River out of a Killian’s Irish Red glass. Thought that it made a nice picture though. 
Ahh…green goodness just waiting to be consumed. For some reason I remember this tasting better as a kid but it still isn’t too bad as a novelty.
Little did I know that one small glass of Green River would turn my son into a beast that looked like he came from the Green River.
While not a crazy night of wild fun, our kids enjoyed this little unexpected treat tonight and it gave us a chance to sit around the kitchen table and spend time together sharing stories and being a little silly.
Happy St. Patty’s Day!

I was just watching American Idol, one of the contestants is Irish. Beautiful accent. That was my extent of participating in St. P’s day (: I was going to do more, but then saw how your son turned out and decided to taker ‘er easy.
St. Patrick’s Day has just become Halloween!!

It’s not St. Patrick’s Day unless you break out the Green River! I agree. It tastes better when you’re younger. I can’t drink it alone, but it isn’t all that bad with the corned beef dinner!
Hope you had a happy St. Patty’s!
