St. Patricks Day

I LOVE holidays!!! However this one snuck up on me!!! I've been so busy I kinda forgot to plan anything. I knew the kids had green clothes they could wear and Bree had St. Patty bows from last year still - so we were good, right?

Well, I was doing Bree's hair when she said "Mom, I can't wait to come home and find all the hidden gold the Leprechauns are going to bring over while I'm at school." Crap.... I guess kids at school have been talking and their moms have done more then me :) - so I was glad I found out what she was expecting before it was too late! Off to the stores I went - with no luck! Store after store everything was sold out!!! Unless you were looking for a beer mug hat & socks - they had those but I didn't think that would be appropriate. Chris got off work and hit stores along the way home for me but it didn't have any luck either. We ended up in PG at the Macey's because we heard they had stuff - nope sold out there too! So I decided I would use gold chocolates - like Rolo's, Reces, etc.... Not a half bad idea - wish I would've have thought of that at the first store. Then they had St.Pattys donuts - so I thought PERFECT - she will love it & I can give the teachers/bus drivers something too! All in All - I think it turned out GREAT!

Before School...
The Bows.... (the hair is always important, right?)

After School - the "gold" and in this case "silver" too - HUNT

I think it turned out ok... she was excited & didn't say anything about it not being the gold chocolet coins we searched so hard for.

Lunch.... and the St. Patricks day Desert

Kaleb - after he got home from school - enjoying his donut!!!

He LOVED the GREEN punch I bought!!!

St. Pattys day Jammies before going to bed! I was a slacker this year and didn't buy the fabric this year before it was sold out - so they had to wear last years jammies - which are now total floods.
