St. Patrick's Day, 2011.

We added a new level of fun-ness to St. Patrick's Day this year with rainbows. We had rainbow shaped pancakes for breakfast. The girls decorated them with all the colored sprinkles we could find and we colored coconut yellow for our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It kind of looked like cheese. In the afternoon we made rainbow colored cupcakes. It was just one cakemix separated into 6 bowls and dyed red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The girls dyed the batter and layered it into the cupcake liners. The result was a very fun cupcake and they were so proud to show Rusty. For dinner we had green-green chili rellenos with beans and sopapillas. Green chili rellenos count for St. Patrick's Day, they ARE green. Thats what we wanted to eat, anyway. At night we left out our green pots to see if the leprachauns would find them on the windowsill. They did find the pots and left each of the kids a dollar. Wow, those are really nice leprachauns. All of these things were fun, but my very favorite part of St. Patrick's Day this year was the outfit Kyleigh came down the stairs in. A green belt wrapped around a golden shirt and some very green hand me down tights that she adores. My very own leprachaun.
