What did you do for St. Patrick's Day?



Joseph changed his shirt to green with blue and white stripes after he'd gotten dressed wearing orange and blue. He helped choose green jello for dinner.

Caleb wore a green shirt with brown and white stripes. His teacher set a leprechaun trap before music; after music they found a note from a leprechaun that had escaped and hidden chocolate coins around the classroom for them to find. He helped choose green jello for dinner.

Beth wore green capris with colorful ladybugs (hand-me-down from Rebekah), and found shamrock confetti on her desk in school first thing. She enjoyed one of the 2nd grade teachers wearing a green wig. Her class got a scoop of Lucky Charms to do a sorting/counting/graphing activity (then got to eat them).

Jacob wore green pajamas to bed last night, and a shirt with colorful stripes today. One kid in the hallway was giving out some of his many green necklaces to those not wearing green.

Michael wore a green shirt with white stripes. About 20 people tried to pinch me anyway, even though its illegal (the school made a big deal ahead of time about no pinching).

Rebekah wore a green hooded sweatshirt. About half the kids had green on at the middle school--a few went all out with clover necklaces, etc, but most didn't seem to care. A few had just enough to trick people.

Daniel wore a matching green shirt with Joseph. And "helped" make the green cake with sprinkles.

Mom is trying to come up with something easy, delicious and excitingly green for dinner--besides green jello and cake:)

Kurt left so early this morning to catch a flight to Santa Clara that I have no idea what he's wearing!
