So, I don't have some cute mantle to decorate, or a cute shelf...I have this OLD trunk. I try to make it cute, and I am slowly collecting fun stuff to decorate with.
The super cute "Luck O' the Irish" blocks came from Amy. She makes these super CUTE figurines to sit on the blocks, BUT I have a 5 year old (Emilee) that has a major thing with little dolls of any sort. So, I opted against the cuteness because I knew that she would be gone with them.

The little rainbows were a craft that we did at our Girl Scout meeting last week. I seen the original post on Pinterest (click HERE), but I had to try to make it a little cuter.

These past few weeks have been full of A LOT of events with this being the 100th year of Girl Scouts. Lots and lots of celebrating to do. So, our troop had a celebration of our own. We had a birthday party to celebrate Girl Scouts and our own Daisies. It was a rainbow themed party so this was the "Rainbow Craft" that the girls made and it kinda tied in St. Patrick's Day aswell.
I got the precut floral foam from the dollar store. There were 4 pieces for a dollar and I also got the cotton balls there too. The pipe cleaners and beads came from from a local craft store. From the pictures, you can see it was very simple :)

With my husband being out of town on business I decided not to do the traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage. The kids are not huge fans, BUT I am! So, for our St. Patrick's Day dinner we had Green Pancakes, Green Eggs, Kiwi, Garlic Roasted Breakfast Potatoes, and OJ. Dessert was Strawberry Shortcake with Homemade Angle Food Cake (this recipe is the BEST), with green Cream, and Leprechaun Floats.
Then we finished out our night playing a few games of St. Patrick's Day Bingo and a Skype session with Daddy :) Perfect way to end the day.
