St. Patrick's Day lunchbox

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Miss B is off to school wearing green and carrying a special lunchbox loaded with the holiday spirit.  

Lunch is served!  Green everything.  Cheese tortellini with pesto sauce, sliced cucumbers with ranch salad dressing (tinted with a bit of green food coloring), Key Lime pie yogurt, green grapes, a bag of pear chips and of course, a shamrock cookie.  

The "Leprechaun juice" is actually Hawaiian Punch - (not usually packed for her lunches...but an exception was made for St. Patty's Day). 

I taped this note to the inside of the lunch box and included another which was a St. Patrick's Day joke.

Q: "What's Irish and stays out all night?

A:  Patty O'Furniture!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Miss B and Me!

Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way!

After being covered in snow this winter - we're finally feeling Spring. The temperatures are creeping up and the birds are chirping. Speaking of chirping birds...I found these sweet chicks and fell for them -- and yes, they do "chirp". I thought Miss B's classmates would like them this Easter. I'm trying to steer clear of giving them candy and I think their parents and dentists appreciate it. Although, I did slip in ONE teeny-tiny bunny lollipop.

Thinking of Spring, Easter and flowers here....
