St. Patty's Day Fun



This year St. Patrick's Day falls during our spring break!  Here are a few fun things we will be doing around our house this week!

Bloom posted this idea to have a scavenger hunt.  We will definitely be using this!


My long-time friend makes these cupcakes with her boys every year.  We have adopted the tradition... because they are good.  You just have to try them!


I thought about having Lucky Charms for breakfast like Amy does . . . but then I remembered that I banned them (even though they are one of my faves).  My boys only eat the marshmallows and leave the rest of the cereal in the bowl.  So instead we'll be having Froot Loops--because they are rainbow colored.


And, of course, we'll have our traditional all green dinner!


Are you doing anything fun with your family this week?

  1. Yep, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm celebrating it for the first time. (Mainly you only celebrate St. Pat's day in Irish pubs here in Oz.) I've decided to do green food each meal and have a little afternoon tea party with my sons little friends. My son and his cousin have done a lot of St. Patrick crafts today. Anticipation is growing!

  12. My husband and I celebrated by playing a whole bunch of different games trying to win "lucky bucks" which are good to trade in for chores we dont want to do

  13. LOL, we have the same Lucky Charms rule for the same reason. I almost broke down and bought some for St. Patrick's Day but stood my ground!
