in the hunt for something green for st. patty’s day for each kiddo,
{note: the green needed to be somewhat original…}

i could not find anything i was super-pleased with for myla.

so, last night, i took this basic green tee,
found one of my old tank tops,
and went to work…


i loved the color, polka-dots, and lace trim on this tank,
so i trimmed it off—


with five minutes of basic hand-stitches, i gathered & stitched on a little trim
to the neckline. very very easy {and…sewing is not my strongest skill. believe me.}

i used the white polka-dots to hide my stitches.

our {{{green}}} day!

March 22, 2010


the first graders at kj’s school all went on a leprechaun – scavenger hunt!
it was so. dang. cute!

the two days leading up to st. patrick’s day,
the first graders would hear leprechauns running accross the roof of the school!
and running through the halls!

so, finally, ON st. patrick’s day, the first graders went looking for them!

{i missed this activity when my older girls were in 1st grade,
and i was so impressed, this time…}

there were about 10 groups of kids, each group had 4-5 kids with one leader.
kj was the leader of his group.

.....

may your day be filled with lots of good luck!

{a little leprechaun delivered some green goodies for our family}

we will have green spelt crepes & green milk with breakfast…

i am taking krispy kreme green donuts to three of my kids’ classes today.

with mini green Gatorade’s.

and we will have a green-themed dinner.

what are your plans?
