Happy St. Patty's Day!!

I had big plans for a St. Patrick's Day party for the boys (yeah, I'm a bit early, but most of these holidays are celebrated on the weekends because of school and work and every day life).

Don't worry, I'll make sure they wear green to school on Tuesday.

I wanted to start with some green punch and a themed snack, followed by a delicious dinner of corned beef and mashed potatoes.

Turns out that I live with a bunch of party poopers who had no interest in the dinner.  

Well, at least I could do the green punch (ginger ale and lime sherbet).  That is always a big hit with the kids (not to mention mommy). 

I also put together a little pot of gold for the boys (with a little gold left over for Daddy) by whipping together these little crochet pots and filling them with Rolos. Cute, huh?

I may not be able to go all out, but I can still have fun!

*Note*  This year, they weren't very excited about the punch, but they loved the pots!  Well, I tried.  :)

*Update*  I totally forgot to dress the boys in green!  Youngest happened to have green on his shirt.  Oldest had to go into class and ask his teacher for a little help.  Oops!  I just hope there's no pinching allowed!

I hope everyone has a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
