Lucky

So I've recieved a complaint from my fan club that I don't update my blog enough, so I thought that I would finally post about our St. Patrick's Day festivities.

We always do something...

Thanks to the dollar store for being able to get some cheap accessories and decorations.

I bought some green necklaces, a pack of buttons (Kiss me I'm Irish...etc...), 2 shamrock mugs for the ladies I VT, some sparklie window clings (put on my mirror in my 1/2 bath for all to enjoy!), tattoos and lucky hair clips.

I then ran off to the bulk store to find lucky candy...anything that was green and of course the gold coins at the end of everyone's rainbow. I filled the cups for my VT ladies, and packaged the snack sized ziploc bags for my kids and hubby. They were so excited to recieve a candy bag in the morning...

I also stopped my Sally's beauty supply store for some green hair coloring and fingernail polish.

I was going to have some green pancakes...but I didn't wake up early enough for that...I did fill Megan's lunch up with green veggies and some nice artwork on her paper lunch bag.

Megan was the most dressed up; green hair streaks, nails, sweater, some green on her pants, hair clips, button and necklaces and a lucky tattoo on her cheek. Aaron also had on some green on his clothes, had his nails painted, and green in his hair and a tattoo on his hand. Evan eventually agreed to have some green hair and wear a button he also had a tattoo on his cheek (it eventually came off too in about a week) . Spencer opted to not have green hair (not very professional), but did wear a green shirt and put on a button and a green tattoo on his hand as well. I'm now just realizing that I got everyone else green and read and didn't opt for any of the fun things to wear, except my green shirt. Oh well next year.

Evan the day before in preschool made a green magnifying glass that he loved to look through...
