So, last night we had our Green Dinner! I grew up doing this every year for St. Patrick's Day, so I wanted to continue this with my family. I remember loving it! It seems like we would do SOMETHING for every holiday, and so I've been trying to be like my mom and do the same thing. Well, in the middle of cooking things for yesterday, I said to Cory, "WHY did my mom do this every year?? It's SO much work!" And then at dinner time and throughout the day, I could see how happy and excited Jaden was with the "magic" of the Leprechaun, and the fun of eating nearly everything green that day...this made it all worth it to me, and that's probably what kept my mom doing it all those years, too. So thank you, Mom, for all of your hard work and for loving us so much!! :)
Jaden woke up yesterday morning to find a little mess that the Leprechaun made in his room...Leprechauns are mischievous little creatures, in case you didn't know ;). They make messes, and WE are left to clean it! Jaden woke up and said "Mom, Mom! The Leprechaun made a mess in my room when I was sleeping!" He was smiling the whole time. And then before we went downstairs, he went into his bathroom and started laughing, because that little piece of trouble peed in Jaden's toilet (which was green!) and left little green footprints behind! Jaden flushed it before I could take a picture..
We went downstairs, and the messy little guy wrecked our living room...I mean it was trashed pretty good. Jaden's first reaction was a whisper to himself, "Oh man....". I forgot to get a picture of this, too. After we cleaned it up, we made breakfast...green pancakes!
And Jaden found a rainbow that Cory and I built for him with gold candies hidden in the clouds on one end of it..He had finding them.
So, while the boys were playing, I was in the kitchen getting stuff ready for dinner. It was definitely a great and memorable day! I love traditions! :)
Fruit Salad Rainbow!
Clover Rolls!
Green Butter, Green Fruit Dip, and Split Pea Soup!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
"May your pockets be HEAVY,
May you get all your WISHES.
May good LUCK pursue you,
With lots of Leprechaun KISSES!"

We made green snickerdoodles yesterday...but, that was about it. I kept thinking to myself, "I just KNOW Kasi is going all out and doing such a cute St. Patrick's Day." And, I was right! :) I love seeing all that you do! You are such a creative, fun mom! I love it! Jaden's a lucky guy. So is Cory! :) Maybe next year I'll be more on the ball and not so large and in charge pregnant. Haha. That's what I told myself yesterday anyway. I love your updates--keep em coming! I'm trying to get better about posting to my blog. But, I still need to do better! Miss you!
