St Patrick's Day

Half the fun of having kids is watching them get excited about the little things in life.  In our house, we try to celebrate a lot.  I know you can't put a price on fun, but the best part is that most of these fun celebrations are under $10! 

This St. Patrick's Day I went out to the local dollar store and got a few treats.
In the morning when the kids got up, the leprechaun had left behind pieces of the rainbow for them follow.

At the start of the rainbow and along the way were little treasures to help them find the pot of gold.

The rainbow led them around the house and finally to the pot of gold. The pot of gold is just yellow water beads in big tub.  The kids had fun digging through them to find gold coins and jewels.

Lastly, no kids celebration is complete without special food.  In this case, we had green pancakes for breakfast and "pot o' gold" juice (apple juice) for breakfast.

We also had green jell-o later in the day, but I forgot to take a picture of it.  
As my son says "Happy Leprechaun Day!"
