Asher's Favorite Day


St. Patrick's Day is Asher's favorite day...
because of green.
It's his favorite color.
And if you know Asher, you know he wears something green EVERY day.
So a day dedicated to green was thrilling to him.


We started the day off with green shamrock pancakes and green milk.


And we all were sportin' our green attire.
I made Liv a green bandana dress and the boys some Sham-ROCK shirts.
Liv and I also painted our nails green, which is a big deal-she usually will only wear pink polish.
Asher has worn his shirt for the last 5 days...
I'm glad he likes it.

Even Micah liked his shirt.
We had green food for dinner and some gold (rolos) for dessert.

It's always fun to have a reason to do something different, although eating green food (i.e, milk) is a little unnerving to me.
And although Asher was hoping that the sky would be green on St. Patrick's Day, we jammed as much other "green" into the day as possible!

That looks like fun. I loved the shamrock pancakes. You are so creative! I'll have to remember the green nail polish for next year. Mimi would LOVE that!
