The Day I Was Grateful for Green

Who wouldn't love a day where everything is decided for you:  What to wear, what to cook, what activities to do?  I love it!

Today a crazy leprechaun tracked green footprints from the backdoor, up the front of the play kitchen where he set up a snack of peas on a play plate, then back on the floor around the peninsula and up the dishwasher onto the counter, into the sink and back out again onto the counter to the Lucky Charms we were saving for breakfast where he took out all the marshmallows and hid them in the cabinet, then along the stove top, across the fridge, into the fridge where he colored our milk green, then back onto the floor and out the front door.  I started all this at 1am and went to bed at 3 (I knew we wouldn't have school today - snow).

The boys woke up to the t-peed kitchen a footprints and had fun tracking them.  No.1 found the hidden marshmallows and poured No.2 and himself a bowl (he's so good at getting his brother breakfast!).  We drank green milk all day and enjoyed a dinner of corned beef and cabbage and Irish soda bread.  Our dessert was Irish lemon pudding (not really a pudding, more like a cake).

What a day.

So, here's to fun traditions.

Here's to encouraging make-believe.

And here's to a Better Mommy Me.
