The children had so much fun yesterday for St. Patrick's Day that when they got up this morning they were still talking about it. We had the greatest fun! For breakfast, the children had a choice between several different St. Patrick's Day buttons they could wear. By the end of the day they had me wearing the one that said, "Kiss me, I'm Irish"! They had a fun breakfast of Lucky Charms, Green eggs and ham, green grapes, green grape juice, toast and green Go-Gurts. Dinner was quite the celebration as the table was decorated festively green, and a bowl of fun things for each person to choose from and wear to show their spirit of the festivities. Bryon wore a flashing shamrock, while Jeremy sported shamrock glasses and Steve wire a drivers hat while Tyler dangled a green whistle with shamrock adornment. Alyssa styled out with a Leperchaun hat headband. We had a wonderful time while eating our Corned beef and Cabbage, green salad, dinner rolls and lime Jello with Pistachio pudding and cool whip for dessert. Having a big family makes occassions like this one so great! (In case you're wondering, Michael and Justin slept through it all, sadly enough. )
*FYI- The corned beef and cabbage recipe is a weight watchers 8 pt. meal that can be found on the "Alger Family Recipes" blog (link provided).

How fun and how sad that 2 of your children slept through it. I love the idea of including something to wear.
It was so much fun! The idea struck me when I was at Big Lots one day waiting for our library to open and I saw all these St. Patrick's Day things. I was thinking how I wanted to start making the holiday more fun. Thanks for your comments!
