My family thinks I'm crazy but I love celebrating holidays, special days, and silly events. My husband is such a good sport because he just goes with the flow and let's me be silly. One family we tradition we have is a "GREEN" breakfast on St. Patty's Day. We have been doing this since Z was born. It's funny because when Z was little he used to be scared of St. Patty's Day. The only reason he was scared is because we woke him up in crazy clothes. Now he is begging for us to continue the tradition. Basically Kevin & I wake the boys up in silly green attire and invite them to breakfast...in our kitchen. Last night Zachary made sure I knew that it was March 16th and wanted to remind me that he LOVES to be woken up by "silly green people". I love that he is finally enjoying the tradition and that we are no longer scaring him.
Normally on a Sunday I wake up at 7:30 am. However today I popped up at 6am to head to the local gas station to buy all of there green donuts. Seriously ONLY FOUR donuts were green.

Getting ready to wake the boys
Each year we add a little something new to the outfits. This year it was tattooed sleeves. Kev was such a trooper to go along with my quirky personality.
Seconds before we woke up Zach. He was SO excited!
Getting ready to go wake up Will
Zach was thrilled he got to help us get Will
I love the look on Will's face. He had no idea what was going on :)

Here's our GREEN family on our way out the door to church. Zachary went with a mohawk and green tinted hair. Normally I would totally object but how could I say no on St. Patrick's Day!
I love these special memories with our family. Kevin asked me what I was going to do when the boys were out of the house and in college on St. Patrick's Day. Hmmmm...that got me thinking....
