Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy Green Day! Today I drove past the kid's school during recess and it was a sea of all shades of green. It was cool see. Did you wear your green or did you get pinch? I love how the kids get excited for the holidays. They were so excited to wear green today. And even tried speaking Irish after school. So funny.I also wanted to make today fun for the kids somehow. Yesterday I was talking to my sister Emily on Facebook and she said that she was going to make rainbow kabobs with her kids. I thought that would be fun. This morning I gave the kids Lucky Charms, to give them luck of the Irish during school. After I picked Kelsie up from school we went to the store and picked up some fruit. Came home, I had the kids help me make a rainbow of fruit, green eggs (I love the color that the eggs turned out), green milk, Cinnamon rolls, bacon and green milk for dinner.The kids loved helping make dinner. Jaron was so into cutting the fruit.
This Kelsie showing the rainbow we made. Her favorite part of the rainbow was the marshmallow cloud.
Here we are sitting down to our green dinner. Karlee is sitting next to Kallie but she has no shirt on so I didn't want to show her. That is who Kallie is pointing at.
I had to keep telling Kallie and Jaron to stop eating the fruit and to eat some eggs and Cinnamon roll, never thought I would have to tell my kids to stop eating fruit. :0) So they really enjoyed the rainbow of fruit flavors.
Crazy Kallie she was scared that she would turn green if she drink or ate the green stuff, how cute is that. I hope that you had a fun Green Day!!
