St Patties Day

I decided to "try" to be a good mom and celebrate St. Patties day this year..... it all started yesterday when the kids were out playing with the neighbor kids and found a green bead.... and thought that it was a clue to find the leprechaun.... (oh to be young again). After setting "traps" and making "beds" and "trying to find him and his gold" i thought it was too cute not to do something fun... or try to make it fun for the kids.
So to start the day out I made green pancakes for breakfast (i forgot pictures..... but the kids loved them).
Then off to the Zoo... it was PACKED we had to park across the street and walk a ways to get there (should have known it is spring break here in Albuquerque).
Then we cam home and had Green Ham.... Green scrambled eggs.... Green hash browns.... Green punch w/sprite.... and Green mint ice cream.
The kids had a fun time and after all is said and done i guess it was "fun" to do something out of the ordinary and have some fun.



This is Ashley.. she could NOT wait to eat her scrumptious dinner....
Hailey was ready to dig in and was excited to see what green eggs/ham/and hash browns tasted like..... and WOW to her surprise they tasted just like they do when they aren't GREEN.
This is how gross the scrambled eggs looked....
They were so excited.. it was pretty funny how something ordinary was so exciting to eat because it was a different color.
And dessert.... Mint chocolate chip ice cream.... had to stick with the "GREEN"
This is the "green" ham and "green" hash browns
This is a picture of the kids in front of the Zoo..... it was a beautiful day in the 70's (i love Albuquerque weather)
Hailey wanted a picture with the elephants.... the baby ones were out today and were so cute!!!

And my Kids ALL love the Zebras..... I don't understand why but all of them love to visit the Zebra's .... you would think the stink would change there mind but NOPE there is NEVER a time that we don't visit the Zebras..... all in all it ended up being a nice visit even though they were crazy busy.......
