St Patrick's Day

St Patrick's Day is a VERY fun holiday in my home. My children get almost as excited as they do for Christmas. The kiddos decorated their treasure boxes a few nights before. Then, on the Eve of St. Patrick's Day under the light of the moon, they left the lids off their boxes to see if the leprechauns would fill their boxes with treasures. And, sure enough, it worked! (Camie left the leprechauns some green food and a measuring cup with water and three miniature straws)

I bought them t-shirts this year and they loved them. They only had white t-shirts written in green for the boys and Spencer was pretty sad that his wasn't green like his sister's, so I had to buy Nathan one so Spencer wouldn't feel left out. Spencer wouldn't know what to do without another little boy to help him with what boys do and don't do (like lipstick, headbands, etc.)

And, everything we ate was green. Breakfast was green eggs (I added too much food dye), and for supper we had cheesy broccoli chicken rice casserole with green jello, a green salad, and green punch. We had green chocolate chip cookies for desert.
