Happy St. Patrick's Day

We had a fun St. Patrick’s Day. To be honest, I wasn’t really feeling it this year, but I pretended. I figure we only have a few years left where our kids will be into the “magic” of holidays. It’s worth a little effort to make them memorable. (At least that is what I keep telling myself.) Ben and Emily had a quality green omelet for breakfast. Elise and Abby weren’t so brave. They settled for Froot Loops. I tried to do the girls’ hair in a fancy shamrock hairdo that I found on a hair blog. It didn’t turn out quite like the one on the blog, but the girls were happy.




After we took Elise to preschool, Abby and I started to make some sugar cookies. We had to run to the store and when we got home, a leprechaun had walked right through our flour and left us some clues to find a pot of gold. The kids were so excited to see those little footprints when they got home and had a great time on their treasure hunt. They played outside with their friends for most of the night and then we finished the day with some yummy cookies. I’m glad that the kids had a good day . . . and I'm glad that I have a whole month to work up some Easter excitement.
