Happy St. Patrick's Day!


This year it's going to be FUN! I'm going to make green pancakes and green milk for breakfast. The boys are so excited to wear GREEN. I don't have to pack a lunch for Justin because he gets hot lunch for my birthday. I think I'm as excited as he is. Justin said he is going to come barging in to our room yelling "Happy Birthday!" to wake us up. He wakes up at 6 a.m. and I hope he doesn't wake up until 7:00 tomorrow. That would really be a birthday present!



Travis and I are going to go out to lunch and Tyler will play with a babysitter. I'm really looking forward to that part of the day. Then I'm planning lots of fun St. Patrick's Day fun for the boys. O.K., it's for me, too! We are going to decorate for a party in Justin's bedroom. He has a whole plan for us. Then a party with Travis when he gets home from work. Justin has been wrapping random toys and things from around the house. He wrapped 10+ presents for me. Yesterday I asked him if he ate the last banana. It was wrapped. He can't wait for me to open all my gifts from him.


I found lots of St. Pat's crafts and games online and we are going to really live it up! Funny that I'm looking forward to kids crafts. Hey, I might even bake pennies into my birthday brownies! (Well, maybe a quarter, a nickel and two pennies. Wrapped in wax paper. Come on, some of you have eaten -I mean "won"- money at my birthday parties! Fess up!) I'm realizing as I get older that birthdays have started to regain their magic. Same with other holidays. I get to have fun again with the help of my kids. 32 is going to be great!

Happy Birthday, Kayelynn! I am proud to say that I remembered before I even read your blog. Your birthday is so easy to remember with it being on a holiday and all. I'm glad your boys are into the celebrating, and lunch w/Trav sounds great! Have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Lynny! Sounds like you are having a full day packed with fun! So, I remembered it was your birthday today...but I forgot the whole St. Patricks Day thing and didn't wear any green! Hopefully I don't run into any leprechauns today!

So I feel compelled to tell a "you had the coolest birthday parties ever story" - when we were kids Kayelynn's mom used to bake pennies in her cake, her birthday being St.Patrick's day and all. Anyways, if you got one you were lucky for like -ever - or something. I thought that was so great when I was a kid.

But, my coolest St. Patrick's was when I was in Chicago and the river is green!
