We made a leprechaun trap on the snow day this week, but mostly only because I needed snow day activities! I did set it up last night after LO fell asleep to look like the leprechaun had escaped it, and I (I mean, the leprechaun!) left LO some green jelly beans and some chocolate coins and a note from the leprechaun. She’s wearing green today but I’m not. </p> <p>We might make something Irish for dinner....then again we might just have more tacos :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711933 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 09:37:22 +0000 yin 2711933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids learn about St. Patrick's Day at school. This is new to me. By chance I put LO2 in a pair of green jeans, and he fit in this morning at school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711903 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 08:40:54 +0000 lilyann 2711903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put them in matching green shirts and I'm sure they will do some themed stuff at daycare today. DS2's favorite color is green so he's been into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711891 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 08:17:01 +0000 looch 2711891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, nope. My son asked last night when we get our gold coins from the pot of gold and this morning I totally forgot to put him in a green shirt.</p> <p>We're not Irish though, so it feels kind of like a fraud anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711862 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 07:26:41 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2711862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711861 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 07:26:23 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2711861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a craft and a special dinner/dessert planned. My mom is making Irish Soda bread and brininging it over. My great grandmother was born in Ireland, so despite not doing many other things during the year to acknowledge it we definitely celebrate St. Patrick's day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711859 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 07:20:58 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2711859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't plan well and sent LO to school in green earlier this week. He's sticking out like a bruised, blue thumb in the sea of green. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711848 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 06:30:14 +0000 MamaG 2711848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually set a leprechaun trap. It's been spring break and we have been on the go so it didn't happen. Our 5 year old spent some time on it but just didn't complete. She's likely to be disappointed. </p> <p>They both have shamrock clothes for today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711834 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 02:59:11 +0000 Ms. RV 2711834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made DD a kilt to wear today (it was $3 worth of fabric and some velcro... nothing fancy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711809 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 23:03:30 +0000 ALV91711 2711809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are having a party at daycare tomorrow. </p> <p>DS has his green clothes picked out to wear and has been talking about it all month. </p> <p>We aren't doing anything special at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711788 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 21:28:40 +0000 Anagram 2711788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ummm....can I just buy some irish soda bread and eat the whole loaf myself? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711771 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 20:59:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 2711771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have shirts from lass year that fit, but my 3.5 yo has already informed me that she will not wear it! We did make Irish soda bread today and I'm making Guinness beef stew tomorrow. That's about it. We had friends over last weekend to celebrate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711752 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 20:20:48 +0000 caterw 2711752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both Irish and he/ the kids are red haired/ blue eyed/ fair skinned so I typically have to do something to celebrate. I prepped some corned beef and cabbage for the crockpot tomorrow and baked some soda bread. We will probably make green shamrock shortbread cookies for our afternoon activity and possibly do a craft as well depending on how motivated I am or how much of a mess DD makes with the cookies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711745 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 20:03:32 +0000 Smurfette 2711745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The leprechaun came to school today and made a mess in the class. They are doing more stuff tomorrow and having a little party. Nothing special at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711739 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 20:00:01 +0000 fancyfunction 2711739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not into St. Patrick's day at all but my kids are part Irish. They're doing a green-themed show and tell at school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711731 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 19:52:14 +0000 twodoghouse 2711731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a St. Patrick's Day story time today. Tomorrow I might try to take them to the parade by myself. 😳 It depends how the weather is and how brave I feel in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711730 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 19:50:27 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2711730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a cute shirt (hand me down from a friend, I would never buy anything for this!) and we happen to be the helper at preschool. So I made the playdough green (and peppermint scented!) but that's it. Oh, and I made corned beef and veggies for dinner tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711705 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 19:13:37 +0000 gingerbebe 2711705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have cute shirts that say "Kiss Me I'm Irish-ish." I have one that says that as well and DH's shirt says "Kiss I'm Irish" because I'm Korean, he's Irish and we have a super Irish last name. I got a shamrock headband for DS1 and we will have corned beef and soda bread and a green pistachio cake. I'll try to put a green lunch together for DS1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711704 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 19:12:15 +0000 rattles 2711704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We read about St. Patrick and got a couple of other secular/leprechaun books at the library this week. Today we used marshmallows and paint to stamp shamrocks. Tomorrow we have a St. Paddy's event at a retirement home and are getting together with some friends to watch a movie about St. Patrick. They've got some shamrock headbands to wear. We also dye their milk green with breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711701 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 19:09:42 +0000 bhbee 2711701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wear green and let them eat a single serve cup of lucky charms for breakfast 🍀 </p> <p>We have an Irish last name (I have no Irish heritage) and my MIL (who also has none!) is soooo into it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711695 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 18:59:24 +0000 FaithFertility 2711695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have cute shirts.....lol<br /> That's it!😂😃 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/st-patricks-day#post-2711693 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 18:58:20 +0000 Bao 2711693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you doing anything fun with LO tomorrow for St. Patrick's Day? </p> <p>We will just do a craft, that's likely it, we don't get into too much. My 4 year old is asking about what it is though, so maybe I'll do something else but more just for something to do! </p>
