2014: St. Patrick’s Day Activities

March 16, 2014 by Tracy

2014: St. Patrick’s Day Activities

2014: St. Patrick’s Day ActivitiesAre you ready to get your green on? St. Patrick’s Day is on the horizon. For the one who does not wear green, be prepared to get pinched. 😉

My children have been carefully planning how to incorporate green into their school uniform for Monday.

My son is already wearing his green bracelet and has chosen to wear his black tennis shoes with the green stripe on them.

My daughter has her hair bow selected along with her necklace (see Amazon link below) and ring. She and I spent some time this afternoon painting our nails green, of course.

I will enjoy donning my hat, green shirt, and matching necklace to tone down my nail polish. On Monday morning, I will send my little ones to school with their St. Patrick’s Day jokes in their lunch boxes. They enjoy getting jokes to share with their classmates.

Having posted St. Patrick’s Day party ideas and a list of St. Patrick’s Day activities in 2013, I hope you find lots of shamrock, rainbow, and leprechaun inspiration from these additional St. Patrick’s Day activities.

2013: Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Before my family went to bed, they each put on their green.

Because they knew when they wake up, St. Patrick’s Day it’ll be.

As the above lines are about as much poetry as I write, I wish you all a very green, lucky, and pinch-free day. ~ Tracy

I’ll Wear a Shamrock

Happy St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick’s Day is with us,
The day when all that’s seen
To right and left and everywhere
Is green, green, green!

And Irish tunes they whistle
And Irish songs they sing,
Today each Irish lad walks out
As proud as any king.

I’ll wear a four-leaf shamrock
In my coat, the glad day through,
For my father and mother are Irish
And I am Irish too!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

2012: Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

March 17, 2012 by Tracy

Wishing you the luck of the Irish today! Beware of those who pinch if you choose not to wear green today. (I already pinched my hubby for his failure to wear green. Couldn’t let him get away with it. 😉 )

For those who love the holiday spirit, you might find a parade or enjoy a quick view of Chicago’s parade including the dyed-green Chicago River during the scenes from The Fugitive (1993).
