Sunday Session


New rules - there are no rules!
On Sundays I play music on my blog.
Old or new or in between.
Related or not.
But always songs I love!
Here are my picks for this week.
You can play along by linking up below.
Can't wait to hear your picks.

Yesterday was St Patrick's Day. And yes, this is my third post in a row about that!
I love Ireland, I love anything Irish, so I love St Paddy's Day.
Let's go all Irish shall we?

I adore the Corrs, but if you've been hanging around here for awhile, you probably already know that.



Today at our school fete (our school is called St Patrick's so it was a very appropriate day to have it) Miss 4 and I sat and watched the Irish dancing. She loves it. I'm quite sure she was doing an Irish jig before she was born. It was nothing like this...



And I wish I was at this Irish dance party, if the ship didn't sink, of course!
Helloooooooooo Leo!











Leprechauns

Top o' the mornin' to you.
And Happy St Patrick's Day!

When my boy was in Prep, two years ago, his teacher told him if he caught a leprechaun on St Patrick's Day, it would grant him 3 wishes.
So this morning, from the minute he woke up, he has been on the lookout for one.
He was sure he heard something in the bushes.
We are all on 'leprechaun watch'.



He has his wishes sorted and ready to go, just in case.
They are -

1. A really big ship with a motor (he is into ships at the moment).
2. A billion dollars.
3. A big pot of gold.





Great wishes, don't you think?

That got me thinking, what would I wish for...
It's harder than I first thought.

Of course I could go for the obvious ones -

1. An endless supply of money.
2. An endless supply of wishes.
3. That about covers it really.

But really, my 3 wishes, just in case I happen to catch a leprechaun, are -

1. A big home with LOTS of storage and an ocean view.
2. Permanent health for my family.
3. Enough money to travel and donate to worthy causes and charities without ever having to work again.

So that's mine.

Imagine you just caught a leprechaun.
What are your 3 wishes?
Go!

Friday Funny - St Paddy's Day

The fabulous Shelly from Tropical Mum has come up with a brilliant linky idea.
Each Friday she'll post something funny...
an old or new post
a video
a joke
a picture...

And this week...
I'm joining in!

Tomorrow is St Patrick's Day.
I sent my boy off to school today in green.
His school is called St Patrick's so it's a pretty big event on our school calendar.
So this week I'm following Shelly's lead and going all Irish.

This really tickles my Catholic funny bone...


It wouldn't be St Paddy's day without an Irish joke...or two...

All Things Irish

Happy St Patrick's Day!

My son's school is called St Patrick's, so it's a big day for them today.
They have a day of fun activities, concerts and general green merriment.
Last year the local news came to do a story at the school and our boy was interviewed, we were so proud of our little TV star for a day.

St Paddy's has always been a fun day for me, loving all things Irish, as I do.

So let's turn this pink space green for the day...and have a little St Patrick's Day fun.

Firstly, this is what I did to myself on Facebook and Twitter...

Now for some of my favourite Irish music...


My two favourite Irish groups in one, how good is that?!

It wouldn't be St Patrick's Day unless you endure enjoy some of this...


Did you watch it all?
Neither did I!

But the good stuff I could sit and watch forever...



Finally, an Irish blessing for you...


And have a...
