Somtimes we do green things.

Today is St. Patricks day. No leprechauns came to play tricks on us, and there weren't any elaborate parties to be had. But we did turn some food green and make some little rainbow skewers.  I think that it's fun to celebrate holidays. My family always had green pancakes or eggs or milk in the morning, and maybe something like green pudding and rainbow toast for a snack. (Rainbow toast was a childhood favorite where my mom would add food coloring to milk and let us "paint" on bread before she toasted them for our snack.)  I feel like my mom was the queen of keeping things low key and child friendly but still adding fun and excitement to our childhoods.

St. Patricks Day was doubly fun because we got to celebrate with the Coopers, too. :)
