Here is the land of Cheeseheads, we celebrate St. Packer's Day. Well, not really. Actually, we might. For sure - Aidan does. He has somehow taken our talk of Brett Favre (*sniff*) and the Packers and the discussion of another holiday and morphed it into the all-time great Wisconsin holiday. I'll have to start campaigning for it.
This year I will have to make bread and scones another day as we are busy getting ready to see Bruce Springsteen tonight! I can't believe this day finally came. Hooray for us.
Aidan's a kid who, to borrow a phrase from a great movie, expects presents on Mother's Day. So the leprechaun threw up on our carpet to leave a trail to
a pot of golden Krugerand chocolate coins and a two real presidential gold dollars to boot. A couple Pixar Cars were thrown in for good measure. Isn't this Wade leprechaun adorable?
Favre, Bruce and Erin go Bragh.
Happy St. Packer's Day to all, from the aunt with the awesome secret power!

St. Packer's Day! What a great idea! I saw your comment on Not Martha and had to check out your blog to see if you're from Wisconsin. I'm in Florida but born and raised in Green Bay and mother to two Florida-born hard-core Packer fan sons. They love the St. Packer's Day idea!

Just wanted to let you know I'm totally campaigning for the St. Packers Day. I told my Mom and she told a few folks in Lubbock, Tx (her home town), so I'd imagine you have at least 4 or 5!
