It's not easy being GREEN!

We went GREEN this St. Patrick's Day,

but it wasn't easy.

The kids woke up to leprechaun loot...

Those silly little guys turned over our barstools

and left some golden chocolate coins.

We hear sometimes they pee green in your toilet...

maybe next year.

It was a Kindergarten day for Henry,

and they wear blue, red and white uniforms,

so we had to add a 4-leaf clover pin to his shirt.

He told me that most of the kids in school got in trouble

for having pinch parties, but he didn't do that.

I guess that's what happens when the rules say you can't wear green.

Way to be, Kid!

St. Patty's Day brought beautiful weather,

so the kids ventured outside for scooter rides.

Stella screamed inside the door for her brothers,

so I put her on the driveway in her Bumbo

and she lived it up...

Can you tell she loves them?

Look at her arms up in the air wanting them to come get her!

I spent the afternoon attempting green bread

(made possible by the beautiful weather and the kids being outside).

The fact that I attempted homemade bread is pretty amazing,

but green bread even more so.

Let's just say it was a day of miracles.

We had a "Green Eggs and Ham" reading,

scrounged up all of the green dishes in the house

and followed it up with Green food...

After dinner the kids played outside some more,

I cleaned up my green kitchen,

and Stella & Daddy retreated to her new room to

add some blue-ish green paint.

The windows were open,

and I overheard the boys and the neighbor kids

hunting for leprechauns...

"You just have to yell 'I HAVE GOLD' ".

"The leprechauns follow the moon. Which way is it facing?"

"They are so little and so fast".

It was a great GREEN day!
