Despite the fact that we have not one ounce of Irish blood in our systems, it doesn't deter us from living it up on St. Patrick's day! I remember being particularly fond of the holiday as a child and I have enjoyed spreading my enthusiasm for it to my children. Every year they get decked out in green and we have to dye their hair green too! We also have leprechaun(s) visit and drop off gold (chocolate) coins that are usually surrounded with gold glitter AND miraculously, the children always get green milk in their cereal bowls! We're not sure exactly how that happens, but are pretty convinced that the leprechauns are responsible for that too!
My little (green eggs and) ham!
Kate was sick today and didn't get to go to school, but that didn't stop her from wanting to "go green" for the doctor's visit! By the way, I know it might appear cold in the picture, but I assure you, we were in the middle of a MAJOR heat wave! It was like 60 degrees! So don't worry about the children, they were nearly dripping with sweat...
Here's last year's picture, just to prove that we really do do this every year...
