Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Guinness. Corned Beef and Cabbage. Bagpipes, Leprechauns, Wearing Green....But my favorite part of the St. Patrick's Day tradition is making my daughter breakfast in the morning and packing her school lunch!


I woke her up this morning and helped her get ready for school...No Green in her school uniform, but a Green Shammrock Scrunchie, a Green Necklace and a Green Bracelet complete the outfit perfectly! No Pinching will be happening today!


We were running a little behind so I told her to run downstairs and make breakfast. A few minutes later I came down and she was sitting at the table with a glass of juice. I asked her where her breakfast was...she answered (in a very pathetic sounding voice) "I was really hoping I could have green eggs and ham for breakfast." How could I forget?! So, scrambled eggs, chopped ham, a little green food coloring and VoilĂ ! Green Eggs and Ham.



For her "surprise" St. Patrick's Day Lunch I made her a green egg salad sandwich, green shammrock cookies, broccoli (also green), green grapes, green jello and a green apple juice box...complete with a Shammrock Napkin.

My pot of gold is making her happy.
