I know that I am crazy, because my birthday is supposed to be MY day, but St. Patrick's day is so fun for the kids, that I have to make it fun for them. The leprechaun comes to our house, and kisses the kids in their sleep with shamrocks. He leaves them a pot of gold chocolate coins, and make mischief everywhere, tipping over chairs and making messes. He also leaves leprechaun dust everywhere he's been.
When I woke Savanna up for school, she darted out of bed, and she and Berks raced down the stairs. You would have thought it was Christmas by how excited they were! They ate cereal with milk the leprechaun had dyed green, and we spray painted their hair green.
For dinner, we invited our friends, Kip and Kathryn and their kids, over for a green dinner. We had roast, green mashed potatoes, broccoli, green rolls, and green jello. Kathryn brought green cupcakes and ice-cream, so of course everyone had to sing Happy Birthday to me. We had a fun time. The kids loved the day, and even though I didn't get to do anything for ME, it was a good day. I guess that's just how it is when you are a mom. When my kids are happy, I'm happy.
