St. Patty's Day 2013

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! : )
