A Little Bit of Irish Luck??

We don't really do much for St. Patrick's Day around our house!  And the corned beef and cabbage dinner had to wait until the weekend when Damian was home to help eat it.  But we do just enough not to get ourselves pinched!
Fortunately my kids have Gma Pam who sends fun stuff and green candies to enjoy!!  Mint Three Musketeers, Andes mints, gold chocolate coins, etc!  Plus they got silly hats, hair bows and Braeden got a neck tie bow, but refused to wear it for more than 10 seconds or so!  Ella wore her headband for the next 4 days straight!  Thanks to Gma Pam for sending a fun filled package!

Love Braeden's expression!  Where does he come from??  Haha!


With the exception of Lexi only, (who can hold onto a fist full of candy for MONTHS... she's a little hoarder), all their candy was pretty much gone in about an hour!  We had a serious sugar rush that night!  YUMMY!!  We can never have too much minty chocolate!!
We didn't manage to catch any leprechauns this year.  Lucky, the leprechaun that frequents the elementary school, completely ravaged Braeden's classroom.  Lexi's teacher locked both of their doors so he couldn't get in, and none of the first graders managed to catch him with their TRAP assignments!  Maybe next year!
Hope you had a very green, very lucky, very prosperous St. Patty's Day!  (We got a Shamrock shake from McDonald's and called it good!)

So cute! That looks like lots of fun. Leprechauns didn't have quite so much fun at our house.

About Me

Crazy, stay-at-home mother of three; Alexa, Braeden, and Ella, and wife of Damian! We love life, although sometimes it's just hard to make it through one simple day. We all love each other... more than we can usually show or tell, and we love our friends and family very much! We LOVE the beach, having company, eating out (a rare treat now with three kids 8 and under), swimming, and playing outside!
