Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone! I love this Holiday, (or any holiday really), just because it makes this day of the year different than any other typical day! Last night we had a couple of little Leprechauns visit during the night while we were fast asleep. They left little green footprints all over that lead to a pot of gold chocolates on the table along with a note to the kids. (Don't judge the footprint cut-outs, we started making them at 11:30 last night and we were super tired...Big thanks to Dan for making them for us! Who knows, maybe Leprechauns have weird shaped toes, we had some great laughs over this!) Apparently they left sprinkles of 'Good Luck' all over our house. Let's hope it works for us this year!! We didn't get a chance to make a real green breakfast, we had a 'short-cut' for breakfast this morning because Jack has to be at his O.T. appt. by 8:45. But we did manage to have Lucky Charms with magic green milk! Then for lunch we had 'Leprechaun mini burgers', kiwi, and green Super Food juice. Keaton was able to give Green Carnations to his teachers and a pot of gold chocolates to his class, he was so excited! His class had a fun day as well, everyone was wearing some sort of green and everyone loved the shamrock hunt! It's great that kids really believe most anything you tell them. The whole "Leprechaun" story is pretty crazy, but we'll keep telling it as long as we are able to! To finish off our day we had our traditional Irish dinner; Corned beef, and cabbage. We also made green mashed potatoes, green jell-o with green whipped cream, green drinks, and shamrock sugar cookies! Here are some pictures we took throughout the day. Here's to hoping everyone who reads this has the 'Luck of the Irish' with them all year long!
This is what the 'Leprechauns' left during the night!
Olivia loved the green flowers!
These were our mini leprechaun burgers
The kids were so excited to show off the 'green' dinner! "Come on Dad, hurry inside"!
The best part about St. Patrick's Day, corned beef...mmmm
We ended our night with shamrock cookies and an Irish jig dance courtesy of Dan, I wish I had a video of this, it was so hilarious!! (Notice he's wearing his 4 leaf clover pants!)

Okay so you are seriously fantastic...I had our big enrichment thing that night and was in charge of the food there so what did I make a green artichoke!! I think you and I need to get together it has been far to long, but until then I will just have to keep up on your blog and learn some pointers...ps loved the jig but loved the jams more!!
