Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I had to go grocery shopping last night after Lou and the boys came home from basketball practice (9:30 PM). When I got home, I realized that the next day was a holiday and I wasn't prepared to do anything fun for the kids. So. . .around 11:30 at night, I went back out to buy a few necessary items for St. Patrick's Day (green food coloring, etc.) I was so tired last night and not sure the effort was worth it until this morning when we had green pancakes, green eggs and green milk for breakfast. It was a hit!

 

Later on, I let the kids decorate graham crackers with blue frosting and colorful treats making a rainbow with a pot of gold at the bottom (peanut butter cups). Another hit--making late night and tired eyes worth it!

 

And, I treated myself to a salon day at my friend's house (a friend from Vegas was hoping to pay for her trip by doing hair at another friend's house while visiting). She highlighted and straightened my hair. I LOVE IT! It was so fun to be pampered this afternoon! :) By the way, if you look close enough, you'll see I got my first sunburn of the year! I was outside doing homework with the boys for about an hour. Nice side effect, eh? :)

 

Oh, I'll have to take pictures of the traps that the boys are making for the leprechaun! He'll probably leave them a silver candy coin in their traps--I have a hunch.
