St. Patrick's Day 2013

I can't get over how much pleasure Zachary gets out of the color green.  It is his FAVORITE color.  Since the theme color for St. Patrick's day is green Zach has come to the conclusion that it is "his" holiday.  He loves that everyone is waring green and the thought of a sneeky leprechaun running around makes him burst into giggles and bounces. 

I really wouldn't do much for this (made up holiday) but because it is special to Zachary I make a special effort.  Besides it is nice to do something different during the cold weather that we've been having.  So last minuet I put up some decorations, had Larry the Leprechaun come over to leave some goodies in the kid's shoes, set out a special breakfast, set up a treasure hunt, and go crazy with green streamers all over the house.  It really made the day special for Zach and Adam.  They had fun finding all the little things that Larry had left behind.  Andrew just enjoyed eating the treats.
