St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day was busy with Spring Pictures and our School Dinner Auction. We didn't actually "celebrate" until Sunday. Pictures weren't until 3:45 but I felt like I spent the entire day getting clothes, kids and myself ready to go.
I'm so glad we were able to go to the dinner auction this year. It meant to much more now that Austin is in school. The auction includes dinner, a silent auction and a live auction. There are many different donations but my favorites were the ones made by each class. I was so nervous that we'd never be able to afford Austin's class project (some years they go over $1,200!). His project was the neatest game box made by Mrs. S and his fellow classmates. Mrs. S made the box and most of the game pieces by hand. The kids drew self-portraits for the memory game and painted wooden tic-tac-toe pieces. Well, as you can see below... we got the game box!!
Mrs. S really goes all out for her projects. This game box is something we'll play with for a very long time. All of the games are so neat, but the memory game is definitely my favorite.... 


The next day my kids were surprised by a visit from those sneaky Leprechauns!
They left Austin a Thomas Movie (that we've watched 489754876 times since), an Thomas oil tank car and a pair of St. Patty's Day PJs. Aubrey scored with her own pair of PJs, a shamrock teether and farm wrist rattles.
We did a little photo shoot later that night in their new PJs!
We hope everyone went pinch-free this St. Patrick's day!
