St. Patrick's day came and went yesterday. I created green french toast for Tyler and Tessa (very gourmet- let me know if you'd like the recipe). Sierra wanted a toad-in-the hole (which I also made green). It looked pretty gross to me, but they ate it. It's pretty easy to make holidays special for kids. It involves creativity and time, more than anything else.
Jeff and Tessa made a leprechaun trap with a cardboard box and embellishments. It's always quite the project. They spend lots of time trying to figure out the best way to trap the little guys. Tessa wants to catch one and keep him for a pet. Wonder what they eat?
Anyway, we had Doug and family over. I cooked the traditional corned-beef and veggies. We had pistachio salad, green salad, green-tinted pina-colada's and french bread. It was tasty. For dessert we did a cake-walk with cupcakes we decorated and cookies. The kids walked along a shamrock path with music playing.
Jeff also did a treasure hunt. The kids had a super time looking for the treasure. The hidden treasure was water soakers and they attacked each other and then went hot-tubbing when they were sufficiently frozen. Ian was actually in the hot tub with his socks still on! It was a good time. I always like any excuse to make life fun and special, to make traditions and memories.
very fun!
