Here Come the Irish...

So t'is a bit belated, but had to capture our St. Patrick's Day celebration...If I was smart, I would've drafted the text back on Mon. so the date would be correct even if I added the pics. in retrospect courtesy o' Chris' computer:) Anyway, we were obviously adorned in green & leprechauns even visited Cole's preschool so he came home with a little pot o' gold. We saw a rainbow en route to my parents' house, but weren't able to capture it due to the psychotic weather here in the great NoWest. I fixed green eggs & ham in the form of a dyed breakfast casserole that was only edible according to my boys (including 31-y.o.) & sisters if they closed their eyes. I think the "who-hash" turned out the weirdest 'cuz I put food coloring in hashbrowns as well & it changed the consistency so it looked more like spinach:) Guess who got to eat the leftovers all by herself for the next 2 mornings?? We decorated remaining cupcakes from Primary activity with green frosting, etc. Here are our creations below: (LtoR Cole's leprechaun, my ode to St. Pat himself, Dane's smudged rainbow (predominantly purple for the Huskies even though they were humiliated in the CBI-ugh!) & Chris' shamrock:






















The boys watched the cartoon version of the aforementioned classic (apparently going to the opening night of Horton Hears a Who was not sufficient dose of Dr. Seuss) & we ended the night with one of my favorite children's authors=Max Lucado's story entitled "If I Only Had a Green Nose":) I think we can safely say we "went green" to the best of our abilities-especially considering we're Irish wannabes for the day & proud of it:) Wouldn't mind of some of their luck rubbed off on us, but our spiritual msg. of the night was, in fact, that we are all Latter-day Saints & should act accordingly...
