Scenes from St Pattys Day


My cute Irish girls:
Lucky Charms & Green Milk:
Kate's face when she realizes that a leprechaun has visited our house:
The "leprechaun" had switched our kitchen table chairs with the dining room ones:
He spilled some Lucky Charms & turned the milk green:
Left a treasure map for the girls:
He left a trail of gold coins:
That sneaky leprechaun even turned BoBo's water green:She didn't mind.
He turned pictures upside down:
Hung Claire's beloved blankies from her window:
Made Kate's bed the WRONG direction:
This is what Claire thought of the leprechaun's shenanigans:
She was quite upset that things were out of place.
Kate on the other hand, loved discovering what the leprechaun had done:
Kate named our leprechaun, "Pete" (no idea where she came up with that!)
We took the map & set out to find our treasure.
There were a few obstacles in the way...
{Claire still grumpy about the leprachan messing up our house}
Getting closer.....
The pot of gold & treasures left by our leprechaun:
Inspecting her gold coins:
Enjoying the sunny afternoon:
Coloring in her new coloring book from the leprechaun:
Getting ingredients ready.....
.....For Rainbow Cupcakes!
Yum!
Dinner for the girls....green yogurt, green jello and mac & cheese with peas:
*and, in case you were wondering, yes, both girls had green poop today because of all the green food dye. classic!*

Dinner for Kevin & I.
We don't do Corned Beef & Cabbage (yuck), so our tradition is Guinness Stew served over Mashed Potatoes, along with Peas, Irish Soda Bread & Green Beer:
Cheers!
St. Patty's isn't complete (in our house) without watching some March Madness. My bracket is doing horrible. *sigh*
It was a fun St. Patty's Day. I am part Irish, so OF COURSE we celebrate St. Patty's Day.
Let's be honest, even if I wasn't part Irish, I would still celebrate it. I love any excuse to celebrate a holiday!
Hope your St. Patty's Day was fun as well!
