Happy St Paddy's Day

Okay I am a big fan of St. Patricks Day. We have been getting prepared for this day....well since last night anyway. We had to paint fingernails green, and get our clothes ready for school. While the children are preparing there day I am also preparing for my part in the holiday. My mom started the tradition when we were in school to make us special colored lunches. I remember on Halloween everything would be orange, and on St. Patricks Day everything was green. So this morning I am up bright and early to pack the "surprise" colored lunches. The girls had green sandwiches, green chips(sour cream and onion in a green bag), green bug juice, and a green shamrock cookie. What fun. Well I am feeling a little sad that Colton won't be getting a home lunch, because apparently when you are in junior high it is horrifying to have home lunch. So me the wonderful mother I am surprise him with a doughnut and juice in his backpack for him to discover at school, well he found it this morning before, but that was okay cuz the girls would be surprised right. Well wrong, Kinzie comes bouncing down the stairs this morning with this comment: "did you remember to pack our green lunches?" huh! So much for surprises. But we did have a few from that tricky leprechaun, the toilet water was green as was our milk. He is tricky that leprechaun. Well Top o' the evenin' to you all.
