st patty's day

oh gosh... i am a serious blogging failure. it is my deepest shame. fear not, though. after a two week break or so... i am back! things look pretty much the same, it's almost like i never left. let's head back a little ways to the day of saint patrick. we decided to make corned beef and cabbage because matt loves it and his family makes it every year, but then tragedy struck. matt got very sicky! we were having some friends over for dinner... so (are you ready for this?) i made dinner by myself! impressive right?! actually not that impressive. have you made corned beef and cabbage before? you basically stick the meat and cabbage in a pot of hot water for a couple hours with an included seasoning packet. the end. i did make roasted potatoes though. it was a success. i will say, i did not enjoy my evening of being a single parent. i'm glad matt rarely gets sick and is normally a very helpful guy. matt got to try my food two days later when he was finally feeling better. beckett loved wearing green and playing with his friends. he thinks big kids (like tyler) are super cool. she is pretty cool.
