Well this year's Green Day was a little better than last year. We had the same plan, but just added to it and had a little more fun, and you can bet next year will be even more exciting as Toni begins to enjoy this fun tradition we have started.
Waylon and I started off a little early this year and made our cupcakes early, so that we could share them with many others. :-) Waylon decorated these cupcakes and was so proud. He put colorful sprinkles on them because he loves "colorful" (as he states it) and for the rainbow fun with St. Patrick's Day.
Then while we were waiting for our friends what better way to pass the time but "try" to take pictures. Thank goodness my kiddos are actually super cute in real life, you would never know it if you only saw "my" pictures of them...a couple of goofballs!
This year we planned a scavenger hunt for the boys! This was SO FUN for them and they did so great. I had hidden shamrocks around the house with a picture of a room in the house on each one, along with 3 green coins for each of them. The boys took turns finding the shamrocks in each of the rooms and collecting their coins.
Then the last shamrock lead to OUTSIDE where the final Treasure was hidden in a green
Leprechaun pot! They unwrapped it to find their surprise for the day.
Green Shamrock Trucks...So cool! These were special Edition Hot Wheel cars for St. Patrick's Day. The boys loved them and as usual Amy and I try desperately to get such amazing photos of the boys together and this is what we get.
After more play time it was time for our "green Lunch." We did this last year and it was a huge hit so we did it again this year. We put a variety of green fruits and veggies in cup cake tins and then the boys chose what they wanted to eat. Of course all of it was green. We had grapes, broccoli, M&M's, pasta, jello, celery and of course Green Milk.
Then we decorated cupcakes~left from the day before. Jason and Waylon loved this idea. Jackson (in the background) Wanted to perform for the boys instead of decorating his cupcake. He brought out Waylon's microphone and sang as the boys decorated. Too cute!
Some more fun and cute pictures. Jason's Leprechaun hat! I love it!
Then of course there was Toni..not too involved this year but she watched a lot.Her favorite part of the day was the necklaces. She loved the sparkle of them and the noise they made as she shook them around. This kept her busy for a while. She also enjoyed all the time with Amy~who gave her lots of lovin' on our green day.
What a great tradition...I love how we add a little more every year and gets a little more exciting. Waylon talks about green day all year, and always asks me why the other colors don't have a day too..?
Can't wait to see how Toni grows into this fun with us.
