Happy St.Patrick's Day!

We started the day with green eggs and ham. (yes, the squares of 'blue mold' are actually squares of ham that sat in a little water with green food coloring.)
The kids decked out in their green! Andrew was on his way to gymnastics and insisted on wearing his swimming suit (for obvious reasons!) Natalia is trying to show her green fingernails.

This is the 'lucky potion' that Andrew and Natalia created by picking the 'clovers' found growing in our back yard. Andrew decided that keeping them in water was the best way to keep them from getting crunchy. He also brought some to school in a plastic bag to show his class.
Andrew's kindergarten teacher has made St. Patrick's day so much fun for the kids this year. It was complete with a Leprechaun trap with green noodles inside to catch the little fellow so they could ask him where his gold is. Apparently, at school the leprechaun came, didn't get caught, made a mess of everything red (a color he isn't fond of) then left them with chocolate gold coins.
Andrew was so excited, he made his own trap.
Unfortunately, he didn't catch the leprechaun either (although he did eat the left over green mac & cheese we had for lunch and took the green kazoo Andrew left.) In return, he shared some of his favorite green candy.
And Natalia, seeing that Andrew got his picture taken with a box, wanted to have her picture taken with a box too!
