Here's how our St. Patrick's celebration went down:<br /><br />4 yo after lunch: "Mom, aren't we supposed to wear green today?"<br /><br />Me: "Oh yeah, do you want to change into your green dinosaur shirt?"<br /><br />4yo: "Nah."<br /><br />And scene.<br /><br />Can't you see the festive spirit oozing from our pores!? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129064848004232361.post-91208342326959323932012-03-20T18:22:59.719-07:002012-03-20T18:22:59.719-07:00Oh, and Jaimie--don't even mention May birthda...Oh, and Jaimie--don't even mention May birthdays!!

I personally hate the tooth fairy most of all because why should you get paid a dollar (or $5 or $20 in some circles) to do what your body just does on its own?? Oi. Jenna--I'm with you.

I felt like I had to continue what the preschool started with the whole leprechaun thing...meanwhile I have one about to enter middle school and still demanding a visit from the leprechaun...when does it end?! Silly children. (I say that with love.) My baby is 9 and I'm seriously ready for the veil covering the magic to slip a little.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247435580507783428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129064848004232361.post-21043310760849352712012-03-20T12:38:30.457-07:002012-03-20T12:38:30.457-07:00You are so good!

Growing up there were never any visits from leprechauns. Gold coins pfft. Besides, every time one of these "characters" is supposed to show up at my house, I feel like if I screw up at all, then I ruin ALL of them... ie: "No, I didn't make this leprechaun shoe from Sculpey." "Mom, are you Santa too?" I'm not risking stealing the magic of xmas for a leprechaun and a few chocolate coins :)Raina @ Mamacita Spins The Globehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686405668797883267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129064848004232361.post-28854585772493939552012-03-20T04:29:41.238-07:002012-03-20T04:29:41.238-07:00You are the Holiday Goddess!You are the Holiday Goddess!Lone Star Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339475499304565638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129064848004232361.post-65921565645591836622012-03-19T18:19:38.317-07:002012-03-19T18:19:38.317-07:00You are hilarious.

I love that the tooth fairy took two days (sounds like my kind of magic) and the "pseudo-Waldorf" comment. <br /><br />Frankly, I am consistently AMAZED, inspired, and impressed by how thoroughly you tackle each and every holiday. The girls were with their dad for St. Patrick's Day (he has them every other weekend), and I was a bit relieved not to have to dream up something for a St. Patrick's Day celebration. I've got Easter and a May birthday coming up (and a school Easter party, and the first day of spring TOMORROW...), so that's about all I can muster!Jaimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771858410245401noreply@blogger.com
