Going Green

Well, not really in the earthy kind of way...more like the St Patty's Day way.

Caleb and Carson woke up to Clue #1 that led them on a treasure hunt ending in a few fun St Patrick's day things.

And we had a bit of clover fun (love those cookie cutters!) with breakfast and lunch that day.



During the day, Caleb, Carson and Chris had to find the randomly placed invitation with their individual name on it. It was an invitation to our family St Patrick's Day party, complete with decorations!


The mini party started with a mock restaurant and a fun menu of green items to select from (sorry...no pics). And was followed by some fun shamrock coloring pages while their orders were put together. Followed by the menu items selected being delivered to the table



Next we played some silly, but fun games. Like throwing lucky pennies into our lucky leprechaun hat. Or the ever fun, letting an inflated green balloon go to see who can land closest to that green leprechaun hat .

We ended by eating our green desserts also selected from our menu of green items.

As always, the days leading up to St Patrick's Day were filled with festive pjs

(Ok...ok...perhaps they just squeezed into last year's....)

And the Queen of Packages, my awesome sister again sent the best package ever. EVER! I'm serious. She is the Queen of Packages. And festive holiday-ish pillowcase fun too. She's the queen of that too.

(The only picture I could find of said pillowcase. And by now the Easter ones are out so it is too late to take a picture. But this picture serves a dual purpose since it just cracks me up anyway. Poor kid was sleeping sitting up in his bed--his head was bobbing up and down and all around and banging into the crib. But he slept on. I'll have to find and post that video soon.)

Anyway. We had a good time. I love holidays. And I just love my cute boys.
