We're not Irish, but we like any excuse to celebrate a holiday (and my family looks forward to anything that offers a break in the monotonous routine of cold cereal for breakfast). My specialty (my only breakfast specialty)...food-colored, shaped pancakes. I had to use coconut flavoring for the syrup so that it would lend itself more easily to the green hues. As for dinner, we have long abandoned the tradition of tinting stroganoff and noodles green (to this day, Jason still cannot eat stroganoff) and have opted for a more palatable "Pot O' Gold Soup." Hmm...maybe I enjoy holidays so much because they all seem to center around food!
Spencer and Audrey did marble painting for preschool using paints in varying shades of green. Brevin graphed Lucky Charms and constructed a leprechaun hat complete with blazing orange, construction paper hair. Jason even wore an obligatory mint-green shirt to work. Yes, it seems that going green is "all the rage" these days!

Wow marble painting looks like great fun! I still need your preschool websites so I can steal all your great ideas. That last photo looks like your boys are celebrating with wine for the holiday too! (but I know it's just juice)!
Cute! You always do such cute things for the holidays! I tried a new menu this year for our St. Paddy's dinner and went a little more authentically Irish than I have in the past. For the first time ever, I cooked corned beef with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. I rounded out the meal with Green Stuff (lime jello powder with cottage cheese, cool whip, pineapple, and mandarin oranges--a kid fave!) and cloverleaf rolls. Yummy! Though, I must say, I would only do corned beef every few years--not exactly my favorite meat...
Super cute pancakes! Looks like a fun day for you guys as well!
So I'm curious, what is pot of gold soup, because I did nothing for dinner becasue I couldn't handle anymore dyed green things, the milk was enough.
You are just too cool! I didn't even wear green at St. Patty's :(
I'd like to remind you that you promised to pull out and scan some pictures from the HS musical!!!
