With the biggest day on the southside of Chicago quickly approaching, my sons have shown an impressive entrepreneurial spirit this year. The Southside St. Patrick's Day Parade brings in tens of thousands of revelers to the neighborhood with cash in one hand and a cold beer in the other.

ReplyDeleteHmmm. It's now been suggested. Thank you!

They probably DO bake better than I do!

ReplyDeletePeople with lots of beers will think this stuff is AWESOME. ;)
DeleteHahaha! You have the most creative kids! Love that second flag. That's a keeper. :-)
