I'm just too lazy to coordinate my kids for the annual St. Paddy's day photo today, but let me assure you they are wearing green! It just happens to be green with a maroon apple shirt or blue and yellow basketball shorts, cause it is vacation and I just let them dress themselves (and watch a lot of TV and eat cookies 20 minutes before dinner and all the other no-no things that you don't get to do on a non-vacation day. . .heck, one of my kids may actually still have his pj shirt on - at least it's green!) Anyway, when you have kids, you have to wear green on St. Paddy's day. And it is important that you wear it to bed the night before because they will come flying at you with their pinchers posed at the very first crack of sunlight. Except for me. I was granted an exception cause my eyes are green, says Will. I've always wanted green eyes, but couldn't quite muster up the courage to convince the DMV that they were in fact green, and not hazel, and so I've been stuck with hazel all my life, because when you go in to renew your license they never ask you, are your eyes still hazel? They may make you get on a scale to prove you are in fact the same weight you were at 15, but they never assume your eye-color up and changed. But Will says my eyes are green and so they are! Poor Sara didn't have the same luck. We sent her down to play with the kids (cause they were all up way too early!) and she came weeping back in 5 minutes later because we'd sent her into the lion's den without the proper weapon (green!) and Will was more than happy to teach her that lesson the hard way!
But on the up side, she has the most lovely blue eyes :)
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
