islandfour is moving

Since we've technically been islandfive for the past 5 months we decided to make it official and change our blog name and address so Baby Z won't feel left out. So, head on over to ourislandfive.blogspot.com/ and keep up with us there...

i do not like green eggs and ham...

We were in full Irish mode for St. Patrick's Day since we both have relatives who hail from the Emerald Isle. (The story of Great-Grandpa Stewart is the most entertaining one - he actually managed to get kicked out of Ireland back at the turn of the 20th century!) I was thinking of my grandma (Anne Stewart, whom Annie is named after) who used to wear orange on this day to show her Irish protestant roots and to just be a little bit contrary.

Annie and Jonah both asked for green eggs and ham to celebrate so, being the kind mother I am, I indulged them only to be met with 15 minutes of complaining about how they didn't want to eat their breakfast. It wasn't until I threatened to never use food coloring in frosting again that they decided they were edible.


Now, who wouldn't want a green egg breakfast sandwich?


Since they ate their eggs, we had cake with green frosting (eaten on GG Anne's plates) after dinner.


No pinches for the baby.
