Our NEW tradition continues... Today, for St. Patrick's Day, we all dressed in green and had fun looking at everyone else who wasn't wearing it. Leah would say "She doesn't have her green shirt on". It was fun to see how many people had green on too. One of Dave's co-workers wasn't in the St. Patrick's Day spirit and Leah was a little shy to pinch him but she did anyway... It was cute. He was a good sport.
We had a "green" dinner. Leah and I made our own green decorations to hang from our light above our kitchen table. It was fun to share that with her. I already had green napkins so that added to the green theme. We also had green straws, extra green lemonade with slices of limes, we ate broccoli, spinach tortellinis filled with cheese and homemade bread. For desert we had yellow cake (Dave's favorite) with Starlight Mint Ice Cream. We told the kids if you want to have green eyes you have to eat green stuff... it only works for Leah; apparently she is the only one eating enough green stuff in our family. Mylo says he has green eyes with skateboards in them, not sure what he means by that?!?!?
Here are a few pictures of our Green Day!
Fun with Dad!
(It looks like Mylo is smelling Leah's foot and it takes a second to tell which foot belongs to who)

Good on you man. I think it's awesome to do all this fun stuff. I should do it too. Once I'm back in my own house I'm going to change a few things LOL
Hey Laura, I saw your link on Kimberly's blog page. You will have to check out Stephanie's blog (the link is Martinez family on Kimberly's or my blog) and mine (chrismonicaandfamily.blogspot.com)You have such a cute family! It is so much fun to celebrate holidays when you have kids that are a little older, isn't it.
Wow, you guys really got into the green thing! Looks like a lot of fun. I love that we can be in touch again after so many years!! Your family really is cute. Leah looks like a little sweetheart! How exciting that you are having another girl...and so soon!! Congrats.
What fun! I hope to get this much spirit going about the holiday next year...and get the green dinner tradition started. Looks like the dinner was a hit.
(great lesson about family fun on Sunday, by the way...what you've done here fits in perfectly with what should be happening to make great memories!)
