We LOVE St. Patrick's Day!


May St. Patrick guard you wherever you go,
and guide you in whatever you do~and may his loving protection be a blessing to you always.

Liv was being a stinker

and now, it's JP's turn to be a stinker!
My friend Amy made this hat for her little boy David who's a 1st grader in Liv's class.

I loved the bubbles coming out the top of this hat.
Um...so cute, and fUnNy!
My girl!

We've had a fun filled St. Patrick's Day!  It started with "crazy hat day" at school for Liv, followed by a parade, hat contest, picnic lunch, and we ended the day with a trip to the dentist for the kids(were they handed out shamrock balloons, plus no cavities!) 

This is the first year since I was probably 10 years old that I didn't get together with my Hennessy cousins =(  So sad, I just didn't have the energy to meet them this year(and they are at Jack & Dan's of all places, too crammed for this mama!)  My aunt usually makes us the best Irish dinner (corn beef & cabbage, with soda bread,) and we didn't do that either.  NEXT YEAR we'll be back on track.  My grandma used to make little leprechaun houses and we would try and catch them, so funny and I have yet to do that with the kids so that's also on my list for next year.  Here are a few pictures of the kids, and from the crazy hat day parade.  Some people REALLY got in to it, as you'll see.  I loved the potato heads, and Gonzaga hat!

That potato head hat is hilarious! Looks like STM has some fun traditions:) I love that green shirt you're wearing because it will always remind me of our trip to the coast. I was 6 mo prego with Dawson, the girls were only TWO and I remember going into that cute little shop where you bought it...sigh...time goes so quickly. Sweet memories though:) xo
