St. Patrick’s Day is a fun & easy holiday to celebrate.
I just do a few simple things to make it more fun for my kids. first of all a silly leprechaun comes and gives them green little surprises/treats in their shoes over night! (this tradition started back when bailey was in 1st grade .. her teacher every year has the kids leave out their shoes in the classroom while they are in PE, and they make cute little leprechaun traps (to try to catch the leprechaun) and the leprechaun comes and fills their shoes with candy pencils, stickers, and usually a book, it was so cute and the kids loved it! so I decided to keep the tradition alive! it really is very simple everything except the Jones Soda and fish crackers were from dollar tree I think I spent $8 at dollar tree and another $10 at target on the food and drinks (including the cereal and donuts) so as you can see its just a fun cheap little thing to do, and I mostly just do it for the youngest two! : )
the 2 little ones had fun checking out the treats!
Brody got this little sticky Octopus that crawls down the window, he loved it!!!!!! ha!
and they of course loved their green milk, lucky charms and donuts!!
then we got cleaned up and dressed and ready for church!.. all in our green!!
after church daddy went over to his brothers to watch a fight on tv so we went to lunch (you can guess where) then back home to start dinner
I made Guinness stew! It was yummy! the kids all liked it, and grandma and grandpa came over to visit and ended up eating with us also. I also made loaded mashed potatoes mmmm!
then later that evening ry and I ran up to McDonald’s to get one of the Shamrock shakes, it was good but not near as good as Sonic’s!!
