Happy St. Patrick's Day....

This is one of those days where the day goes by so quickly and finally you sit down at night after all the kiddy-boos are tucked into bed and think, "ARGHHH!!! I didn't take one picture!" I am totally kicking myself right now. So you will just have to imagine all the green fun we had today! We started working on our basement 3 weeks ago, so we packed all of our stuff into our garage. I figured it wasn't worth climbing the mountain of boxes to try and find the St.Patty's Day decorations, so I didn't bother decorating this year. For breakfast this morning my handsome muffin making hubby made us muffins with green chocolate chips in them. They were totally yummy (as all of his muffin creations are). I was going to dye the milk green, but we thought that since the jug had a green lid that that was good enough. I packed M a key lime yogurt in her lunch. The other girls and I had fettucine alfredo (well technically it was gemelli alfredo) and I dyed it green. Little K was NOT impressed AT ALL!!!! She wanted nothing to do with it. This shouldn't have been a big shocker to me since I can count on two fingers all of the green things she will eat. The little stinker got them again for dinner tonight. And guess what.....not one complaint.....NOT ONE! (It was one of those days when I was just done being the cook.) We had a nice green salad for dinner. I was going to make some clover rolls or an Irish soda bread, but poof! the afternoon disappeared (as they often do) and I didn't get it done. For dessert we had green jello cookies (they are made with a box of jello mix in them so they were green lime cookies). Those were the highlights of the day (funny how most holidays are all about the food huh!?!) Oh, I did put all the girls in my big tub tonight with some green foam so their water turned all green. And little H decided to go all out with the green-ness today and blow green boogies all day. GAG!! I also painted all the girls nails this morning with sparkly glitter paint and I had little shamrock jewel stickers that I put on their fingernail....even the baby got one. I don't think she liked it because it didn't stay on very long. It was a fun day.....I don't think we will be eating anything green for the next couple of days though.
