This day is one of our favorite holidays. Spencer even came up to me midday and said, " Mom, this is more fun than Christmas." I wonder why that is? For St Patrick's Day the children put out treaure boxes the night beofre and the leprichauns fill them. Then we eat everything green. That's it. But they LOVE the day. They love that we eat green scrambled eggs with kiwi and green orange juice. Or for Lunch that we have nasty looking green macaroni and cheese with green french bread. I must admit the green sugar cookies are awesome. But the green milk and green mashed potatoes and green buscuits? It is fun. Just not sure why in particular makes the day so great.
This ST Patrick's Day the leprichauns left green silly string. We went to the park in the neighborhood and had a silly string war. They LOVED it. And then we had a race to see who could pick up the most of the silly sting off the ground. Danielle won that one.
We all wore green.
It was a lot of fun and I this holiday sure brings fun memories.

How fun! Taneal was telling me how ya'll celebrate when she came over that one evening.
The cookies look yummy!
That's so fun! My brother started throwing a big party when he got done in the Marines (Because the Marines have their own way of celebrating that he didn't participate in) So they bake all sorts of Irishy things, play games, have a drinking contest (with rootbeer), It's all very fun. They're in Alaska and each year I hear about their fun party and each year I forget to throw one of my own.. Next year for sure.
