Flash back- st pattys day fun!

Ok like I have mentioned and as many of you already know I find any and every excuse to "celebrate" so st pattys day was nothing less then a green filled weekend!

We did the final mile for operation smile in the shamrock marathon (we did 25.2 miles over the month of February and March and then we would do the final mile with everyone else at the marathon) so Friday his lunch was all green items with a special note to get him excited for the big day!

Friday night we gave him a green fo-hawk and got to bed early. Saturday we woke up extra early to rush to the rec center to sign up for summer camp -because you know they had to schedule registration for 3 hours on the same day as the parade and marathon and I thought I was being smart by being there early with the paperwork all filled out and ready to go-which reminds me I need to swing by the doc office and get medical release forms filled out and turn those back in- but nope there was at least 50 people in front of me and NONE of them had their paperwork complete but of course that didn't mean I could cut it wasn't like we were decked out in green gear and you couldn't tell we had somewhere to be!

Next year I will be prepared and register online!) so then we rushed down to the beach to complete the final mile only to find out that they had already ran, so devastated we drove away from the beach and went to my moms house (Grammy saves the day!) and she took us down to the convention center for a craft show where in all actuality all we did was eat samples of food and buy food and go into the race expo and get free stuff (stickers tattoos sunglasses beads etc) it was a blast!

Then we went to color me mine and painted pottery for pajama night! It was well worth the day! And followed that with a lazy Sunday! But of course Monday was covered in green again! We had green hair and tattoos and green shamrock stickers all over his green item lunch!

We then had green B4D (breakfast for dinner) and a green colored bath!

Any excuse to up sell a day and make it special and fun is well worth the extra time and energy and making a fool of yourself, they won't always want to do it and they won't think it's awesome much longer! 

By the way I emailed the lady in charge if the final mile, we completed the last mile from home and she mailed him his medal!
