We started out the festivities on the 16th, at Ivy's playgroup. I heard about a leprechaun that had lost his rainbow...so we had to go on a hunt to find his colors. The girlies found the red crayons on our red couch, the orange crayons in the fridge with the carrots and oranges, etc. It was fun!
We had rainbow Jell-O for our snack...which all but 1 loved. :)
My mom used to make this all the time...but I had never done it, so it was a fun little project for me to do for the little girls.
St. Pat's eve, I decided to make Ivy a rainbow belt, circa 1987, like I used to wear...you can find the tutorial for it here at me and my friend Jen's craft blog...
She loved to wear it today...i loved seeing it on her! you can't see it in this picture, but this is her showing it off...
This morning, we woke up to a crazy leprechaun leaving funny little surprises around the house...he tinkled in our toilet...he turned our milk green...and likewise our oatmeal, he left a trail of gold coins around Daddy (who happened to be sleeping on the couch...and no he didn't get kicked out of bed, he wanted to sleep there) and left a pot of gold and some fun green surprises for m & i.
It was a really fun morning.
Max was decked out in green with his shirt, undies, socks and shoes...but was still concerned that his pants were blue...
...and while we're taking pictures, can I please make a funny face?
how about this one?
he's cute, I had to post them.
we ran a couple of errands this morning, library, michaels, pet store (just to look), etc...
And then after naps, we went to feed the ducks at a NEW PARK!
My friend Amber told me about this park..and I've been dying to go...and dying to feed the ducks our cast-offs!
We loved it. My favorite was seeing these little boys...and their friend Emily who isn't in the picture, running around together in their green shirts!
I think one of the leprechaun's hi-jacked my cute little miss today...because she turned into a leprechaun herself...although she was cute, I didn't enjoy her 2 crazy fits today. good thing she's cute!
more green guys
and then we came home, read our library books, ate dinner...and then feasted on the rainbow cupcakes like we made last year! YUM!
the prettiest cupcake to eat!
It's so fun to celebrate the random little holidays!
...and on a side note, I thoroughly enjoyed driving around today, and seeing the random old lady in the car at the light next to me with a wacko green shirt on...or the man walking his dog with a green T-shirt...or my friend Amber who ran in a green t-shirt today...i loved seeing green everywhere!
thank you jeff, for making me day, and changing your shirt. :)
