Happy St. Patrick's Day.


Another St. Patrick's Day come and gone. The twins were wearing green shirts and Cooper is not quite ready for pre-school. Anyways, this was one of Brooke's family traditions when he was growing up. His mom would paint a 4 leafed clover on her kids hands with food coloring before they left for school. I outlined it with a toothpick and then filled in the rest with a q-tip. I guess I could have done it with a marker, I just wanted to stick with his family tradition of using food coloring. That morning I was running super late so I didn't have time to make my french pancakes that I color green. So I used an idea that I got from my friend Chandie. They ate Lucky Charms and I put green food coloring in it to make green (it seems like I've been putting green food coloring in everything lately). Then later on for dinner I made our traditional corned beef cooked with cabbage and carrots and cornbread. These are the little things I hope our kids remember when they are all grown.

  1. Oh I LOVE that you did that! I ended up having to do the SAME thing that morning. Got too behind and had "green milk" cereal. I kept expecting my kids skin to turn green after all the green dye they ate this week :)
