I love celebrating holidays with kids around because it's a good excuse to just have a different kind of day. We set our leprechaun trap. Allie made it all by herself. She made sure to put all her green things inside so he would be lured in.
He of course came while we were sleeping and made a mess of things. But he's nice enough to leave some of his lucky charms.
This got the day off to a good start. We made funky headbands with a friend and played (what we do best).
Then had a green dinner. Green tortellini with pesto, kiwi, salad with cucumber, celery, green pepper, broccoli, and mint chocolate chip ice cream. Allie got to pinch dad because he wasn't wearing green. And, we are the Green's, in case you didn't know so that's just cool!
P.S. The first year we were married I made an awesome GREEN dinner and he didn't say a word about it. Yeah, he's color blind but he CAN see green. The green wasn't bright enough so it all looked brown. Sad huh!? I was pretty bummed about it. So I'm glad I can make stuff for my kids and they will appreciate it.
Don't worry, Katelyn had green beans!
*Note to self. 3 years ago I was in labor this WHOLE day. Everyone thought we'd have a St. Patty's baby. However, she took 18 hours to arrive. :) So happy birthday to Allie June tomorrow!
What do you do for St. Patty's? I love stealing ideas. :) Peace out!

Looks like fun! We had stuffed green peppers, green salad, grasshopper pie, and limeade for dinner!! Aspen ate green beans :)
For breakfast my mom would always fix green pancakes or green eggs and ham. Blue food coloring really works in turning the eggs green. We always looked forward to it.
