Last night Natalie and Zander put out their shoes in hopes the Leprechaun would leave some gold. I had never heard of this tradition before, but recently read about it on a message board (2 peas) that I frequent. The kids totally went for it and were so excited.This morning Natalie checked on her shoes that she left out side. She couldn't find them anywhere so she came upstairs and told me, "mom the leprechaun stole my shoes." Then Zander woke up and went down to check on his shoes and discovered that the "leprechaun" brought them inside and filled them with treats. They both got two gold chocolate coins, and a bag filled with green jelly beans and a couple mint Oreos. They had never seen this type of Oreo with the green middle and were convinced the leprechaun made them green. I love going along with all of this.
A tradition I started when Dan and I were first married is to make green food for St. Patrick's Day. Beginning with breakfast we have Green eggs and Ham with some kind of green beverage. This morning we had green milk.For dinner I always make the traditional Irish Corned beef with cabbage and little red potatoes. Dan loves this meal and always looks forward to it. I also make my own green bread in the bread machine and serve green dessert. (usually key lime pie or lime jello w/ green whipped cream.)
