This year we did our family St. Patty's dinner on Friday - the day before the actual holiday. So I bought green bread and green jello and made green alfredo sauce, green butter, peas and shamrock shakes (sprite & lime sherbert). The kids love our dyed carbohydrate holiday meals so I keep dying the food. Ha.
After dinner we thought it would be fun to cuddle on our bed and watch a St. Patty's movie. Who knew there are no good ones!?! Todd found one called "The Unlucky Leprechaun" - do NOT watch this movie. It was sooooo bad I was dying 10 minutes into it but we watched the entire thing no matter how boring and bad the acting was. Then we had green cupcakes with green frosting and green sprinkles. Sophie at the frosting off hers and wanted more so I gave her more frosting then when I wasn't looking she licked the frosting off 2 more cupcakes. About an hour after she fell asleep (on my floor next to the bed) she let out the hugest burp then threw up everywhere. I've never seen so much green puke in my life. It was absolutely disgusting! I got her in the bath did some quick laundry took a shower myself and then she slept fine. I guess 4 cupcakes worth of frosting was just too much for her little tummy to handle.
On the morning of the actual holiday I got up and did a crazy run with Traci. Isn't her green hat too cute? We ran from her house to the Y then hiked up to the Y and back down then ran home. It was about 11 miles total and it was killer. I was sore for almost a week after that workout!
