Purveyors of candy, Melissa and Diamond....shall we continue?
I'll take that as a yes with one abstention.
"Top of the morning.""You holding?"
"Yeah, I'm holding, holding on for dear life."
Dance of the Sugar Jones.
More, more, more, how do you like it, how do you like it?Covered with sugar.
And this, the Blockbuster buzzkill mom would like you to believe, is what you'll see after one too many Pixie Stix.
Charmed, I'm sure. That little girl has a big bag and high hopes.
Can I interest you in a balloon for a wee bit of sugar?
God bless the child that's got a zip lock bag of candy.The green t-shirt says "not lucky, just cute" (it should say "don't mind me, just crashing").
Word got round that the humans were looking for something else to throw when they ran out of treats. Any volunteers?
But it turned out the kids would rather we toss candy.
The accusatory "Where's my candy?" look from the blond boy, I've seen that look from blond boys before (note the green Bucky tee). Is that little girl crying?
Could you say "no" to these faces? You could if you had a camera in one hand and had to take candy from little cousin Gabe with the other. Did you know that Iggy Pop often visits Madison just before St. Paddy's?
I like a mom with her own collection of candy.
Little cousin Gabe is so Catholic (Irish, Italian, and Mexican) he's praying on his party beads for one of those green buckets.
A Sweet St. Patrick's Day from the Dish and the Dempseys
Happy St Patrick's Day to you!! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely greens all over :)
Wow! Even doggie joins the fun. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Napa,
ReplyDeleteWe celebrated early this year, and the same to you.
Hi Dora, the dogs had a blast.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they didn't toss the dog at least. Even if he was a Jack Russell.
ReplyDeleteHey Mojo, the pooch seemed a little worried, especially when the other dogs took a vote.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun party! Can't believe I missed it! AND to top it off we planned our trip to Chicago for Sunday and then found out Saturday was when they turned the river green. :( I always miss it!
ReplyDeleteHey Lisa, this and Halloween are two of the best times for photos around here, although this is more fun than Halloween. Great weather too, you must have a beautiful day up there today.
ReplyDeleteI thought they celebrated St. Pat's on the 17th in Chitown, I'm sure there's something going on down there today.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Looks so much fun, yeah, even the dogs had fun. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Liza,
ReplyDeleteThey sure did and so did we, have a great St. Paddy's!
I never knew St. Paddys parades were such a big thing! Looks like everyone had a blast. That totally was Iggy Pop!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day to you.
Hey MaryRuth, how was Milwaukee?
ReplyDeleteIs that not totally Iggy Pop, maybe a little healthier.
Next year you'll have to come here.
That kid did give you one hell of a stare, Jeanna--sure you were poaching from your cousin and not inching in his direction? And the mom with the candy--you can't let good candy go to waste. If it's just lying there because some kid was slow...(and do they really turn the river green in Chicago? ((I feel goofy for not knowing, but I have to ask...)))
ReplyDeletemy verification is so blah...*sigh* its dermi.
Who, Jodi, the blond boy? That would not be the first blond boy that's given me attitude.
ReplyDeleteThat mom in the Packer shirt? I love that she had a bag of cotton candy along with stuff from the parade, like they couldn't wait w/out sugar long enough for it to start.
It really is a drug, isn't it.
I was diving for candy after we went around the square, kicking children out of the way and such, lol.
Sure, they dye the river green, hides all the dead bodies. Don't remember if I saw it though, I went to Chicago a lot in the 80s but much of that decade is a blur.
That's an okay word ver. Two of my favs I got from your blog: ettjizzi and jigrate.
Milwaukee was effin COLD is what it was...but fun. I hope to post soon!
ReplyDeleteAh, MaryRuth, if I've heard this once, I've heard it a millionfriggintimes: Must be the lake effect.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes gal......You've been a busy lil' leprechaun? I've Been down and out lately. Good to come by here and catch up with all the laughs and festivities!
ReplyDeleteI insulted our local police departments musical ability on leprechaun weekend. They came in a restaurant with their stinkin' bagpipes and drums whilst I was trying to have a peaceful meal!
I hollered out thet they sounded like a sperm whale with his nutz caught on the wrightsville beach jetty!!!!
Of course you did. I didn't know yall had Irish coppers down there, I thought they were all named Bubba and wore lynchin' ropes to keep their pants up.
ReplyDeleteProps for you thinking and then being able to say all that.
What was the name of our place by the water again, Salty Nutz, Crushed Nutz? Can't remember.
