Eh

Eh.
That's how our St. Patrick's Day went.
The must-celebrate-the-holiday mother guilt hit me like tidal wave last night, so I ran to Smith's. For breakfast we had Fruit Loops and cantaloupe. Fruit Loops are rainbow colors you know. Natalie wouldn't eat them.

As part of their lunch I served up store bought Jell-O with pineapples in it. Neither would partake. And later I decided to take a little bite. Yuckers.

And dinner had some broccoli in the lineup. Because it's green.

And that's it. I have to laugh about it all now.

Emmy's had a fever and hasn't been acting like herself, so we laid low most of the day. Natalie, Emmy, and I made a trip to Michael's where I listened to mother after mother scold her children and speak demeaning words to them. It makes me wonder if I sound like that and just don't realize it. I hope not. I hated hearing it.
The photographer here is the only child not pictured. Miss Natalie.
It was yet another night of putting the kids to bed by myself...but on Saturday I won't be...going to Celine Dion!!!

So funny, I remember running around looking for a scrap of paper that was green to pin on you guys because I forgot the whole green holiday, so look how much better you are doing than me. By the way, I have never heard you talk to kids in anything but respectful tones, and I love you for it. Have fun at the concert!

You really shouldn't see me with my kids at Walmart then. It brings out the worst in me.

P.S. I am SO jealous you are going to Celine Dion...she is one of my favs!

Oh Jessica. You are such a cute mom! Seriously. I don't know what my problem was this year. I didn't even realize it was St. Patricks day until I dropped Aiden off at preschool realizing he wasn't wearing green!! I really need to get with the St. Patrick day program next year. :)
