Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
This morning Kyle told me that a few little Leprechauns must have snuck into our house. And would you know, when I poured the milk for Eli and Kyle’s cereal, it magically turned green. Crazy! Then, as I poured hot water into a measuring cup for their dinosaur oatmeal, the water turned green as well. And while half-way covering his mouth in green-colored-food delight, Eli burst into the most glorious giggles. Even when Kyle saw the box of food coloring, he assured me that those silly little leprechauns must have colored our milk themselves.
Moments later, still caught up in the St.Patrick’s day fervor, Kyle came running up the stairs and with an impish look on his face and pointing at his pajamas, assured Eli that these very same leprechauns turned the rockets on his pajamas from blue to green to. I am still trying to figure out those little green guys did that.
I better go. Kyle is trying to find the green Sharpie. He wants to draw four leaf clovers all over his arms. He already tried with the Washable Markers, but we all know what happens when waters touches Washable Ink.
How awesome that you would make the day special for your kids! What a great idea…
Oh how fun! I’ll have to remember that for next year. I think the girls would be thrilled with green milk on St. Patty’s.
What a cute idea! My kids (almost 4 and just 2) don’t quite get the St. Paddy’s Day thing yet, but I’ll remember this for next year! Minus the green Sharpies, of course. (I’ve had to hide my Sharpies so many times that I can’t even find them now…)
BTW, I loved your “ski date” post, too! Very well written and moving.
What a great idea! I wish I’d thought of that today…hmmm, I’ll have to remember that for next year for sure!
Those Leprechauns are sneaky little things aren’t they. Sounds like they had fun at your house this morning.
Hide those sharpies, we had an incident with a black on a few days ago.
Cee, I will be hiding the Sharpies, for sure!
Did I ever tell any of you about the time Eli found a blue Sharpie and decided the grout in our kitchen floor needed to be a new color? Yeah, it was a hoot and a half. Thank goodness for Soft Scrub with Bleach and an old toothbrush.
Egad. The Sharpie was created to drive mothers crazy.
What a cutie! I can just picture his funny little grin, thanks to all your pictures.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂
That’s too cute. Why didn’t I ever think of doing something like that?
Happy st. Patricks Day to you as well!
I found my kid eating a green computer part today. She must be in the spirit as well!
I like your idea better.
Sounds like a fun morning! So far our celebration has included a green hairband…
I need to get with the program –
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Wow sounds fun! Those leprechauns had some good ideas. I’m hoping they might even stop by and pull that one on us next year.
We had a bit of our own Saint Patty fun

Another cute thing that happened at our friends house was, when the kids went to pour their usual cereal of cheerios, out poured lucky charms instead, those tricky little guys switched the cereal.
Visiting via Lucinda at ST. I used to go in the yard and look for leprechauns…
Beth, you are such a fun Mom. I didn’t do squat. Will Chloe ever survive me?
