Green - Green - Green!!

HAPPY GREEN DAY!! Well early. I have classes on Tuesday evening, so we decided to do our St. Patricks Day meals today. So with a full bottle of green food coloring, and some imagination, we had a fun day. We also went to the Rose Theater to see a plat called "Cajun, Little Red Riding Hood". It was very funny with an alligator instead of a wolf, and Gumbo instead of Chicken soup for the grandma, and living in the Bayou and going down the river to grandma's house, and running into Mardi Gras and all. It was really fun and cute.

So for breakfast we had Green Eggs and Ham with Homemade green toast and green milk. For Lunch we had green nachos with green pear applesauce and green cookies with more green milk. And for dinner we had green mashed potatoes, Lima beans, green bread, green gravy and chicken cordon bleu's. Then for dessert we had green refrigerated cheesecake. And to drink we had green colored white grape juice. Overall the kids had a blast, and it was nice to get into a somewhat normal routine. Enjoy the pics!! Oh yah, and today got to 45 degrees, which was nice, and guess what tomorrow will be warmer, and Monday it is supposed to be 72 degrees!!! YAH!!

My Favorite Quote...

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
