St. Patrick's Day...

This is the first year I was actually kind of excited for St. Patrick's Day. Mainly because I told Maddy about it and he was SO excited because it was all about green-which is his favorite color. He was so excited that he would ask me everyday if it was St. Patrick's Day today. It was also funny because he asked me if it is a special day for Sponge Bob's friend Patrick. I couldn't help but laugh.

Steve was home when Maddy woke up and went in and started playfully pinching him. As soon as we told him it was St. Patrick's Day he got up and started getting dressed in all his green clothes. He had already decided he was wearing his favorite green shirt and green shoes and decided to add his plaid green shorts to it. It was totally mismatched but I thought it was cute and he was so proud. Steve wanted pancakes and eggs so of course I let Maddy put green food coloring in the pancakes.

My two cuties all decked out in green. Don't you love Maddy's bubble wand "Lightsaver!" He has lots of fun pretending and insisted on having it in the pictures. They totally held hands on their own (like they do in the car), isn't it so cute!

Don't you love the pose!

Later in the afternoon the kids and I went to my sister Jamie's house for a St. Patrick's Day party. She is so creative and had it decorated all cute. It was lots of fun. Maddy had really been looking forward to it and helped me pick out green jello and green kool-aid at the store earlier in the week. Stacy (and her cute belly) is behind the camera and missing from the picture.

The kids got lucky because a Leprechaun left a bunch of chocolate gold coins for them to find.

The kids enjoying some food.

All the food was either green or rainbow. We had rainbow cupcakes, Fruit Loops, green Kool-Aid, green jello, broccoli, green dressing and edamame beans.

Thanks Jamie for another fun party! It's so nice to be finally hanging out again!
