Luck of the Irish to you all

I was in charge of Joyschool this week, and decided I'd do a lesson on Exercise today (Wednesday is our Easter party so I just took it easy today). We had a pretty good time together (other than the fact that each child cried at least once) playing movement games and coloring pictures of people exercising. Well about two hours after Joyschool ended I talked to Sarah on the phone and she mentioned that she was trying to think of something for dinner that she could turn green, then it dawned on me...It's St. Patty's day and I missed it! I didn't even mention it to the kids today, and I totally should have pinched at least my two but I didn't. I guess I could still do it, but I feel like such a slug for forgetting (if I was more like my wonderful mother-in-law I would have woken up early, turned all the furniture over (claiming that a Leprechaun did it) and made green eggs and ham). And even with Sarah reminding me I still made a boring ol' (non green) dinner.

On a lighter note I won my first giveaway. Molly (Casey's cousins wife) had two weeks of giveaways and I won one of them (a cute little baby shirt with a bird on it). I guess the luck of the Irish really is with me!

You slave driver! Making those joy school kids exercise until they cry!! I didn't end up doing a green dinner either, we did do a green dessert for FHE. Oh yeah, you already know that because I talked to you about it this evening. Oh well...

I didn't do anything special either. I usually make corned beef and cabbage for Willie but i only remembered yestarday that today was st patties day so i didnt purchase the necessary goods. Good thing will was so tired when he got home he didn't have the energy to be sad.

I completely forgot too. You could have pinched me and my two kids too. Oh well, just blame it on Easter being to close this year.
