I think I'm the only Stay-At-Home-Mom that didn't do something special for their kids for St. Patricks Day. I really didn't know that it was such a big holiday. If only I'd known then I would have done something....okay, I wouldn't. I look for any reason to make cookies though so we did make some but I didn't have a shamrock shaped cookie cutter and the dough was way too soft to roll out. Anyway, they had green frosting and pink sprinkles (my girls will find a way to add pink to anything, even a day of green).
I felt so left out of the festivities that I had to post about our nothingness. Do you think my kids will be psychologically damaged when they find out that a leprechaun never visited them as kids, their toilet water and milk were never green, and their mom never made clever green foods for them to eat? Probably, but what am I to do? :)
I really do think that all these things that other moms do for their kids are cute and secretly I'm jealous that I'm not that creative or motivated. Hats off to you all.

I didn't even know it was St. Patrick's Day until like 3 in the afternoon. I don't do all that stuff either. I like to think that I make up for it in other areas (I hope). In all my social work studies I have never found a study saying that you are damaging you child by not doing those things- :)
Hope you guys are doing well. You should drive up here to utah!!!
I didnt do a single thing either. Its one of those little holidays that I dont really care about. Valentines day is the other one I don't care about either. Don't worry, they'll get plenty of it in school when they get older.
Is it a green hat?
When mine's a little older, we'll share ideas... ;)
Unless you are Irish...you are NOT supposed to do anything! :o) That's what my mom always told me anyway when I'd come home and ask! It also worked with the pinching! 'you can't pinch me cause I didn't wear green...I'm not irish!' lol!
