St. Patricks Day!

I'll admit I enjoy St. Patrick's Day and the fun that comes with it probably more than the kids do! Every year I love to surprise the kids with something green for breakfast. The green eggs and ham didn't go over as well as I had hoped for last year so I played it a little safe this year with green pancakes. I tried making some shamrock shaped pancakes but the end result looked more like balloons on a string. I love watching each of their expressions! As always they are somewhat hesitant but this time they actually liked it.
The girls sat Adam's work clothes out the night before so he wouldn't forget to wear green the following day. Kaitlyn was so serious when she told Adam, "Dad... don't forget because it reeealy hurts when someone pinches you"!
As I was talking to a friend she gave me some fun ideas for dinner. Meatloaf, green mashed potatoes, green beans and lime aid. I am thinking we need to make up some of our own holidays so we can change thing up from our normal routine.
