St. Patty's Day!

This last week has been crazy and emotional! I need to update on a filed trip Jonathon took to the fire station with his preschool class, and the passing of my Grandma Elaine (moms mom), but until I get pictures uploaded, I won't yet.

St. Patrick's Day is always fun at our house. The night before Jake and Jonathon made this leprechaun trap...

When I got home from the gym and saw this I asked Jake why he made it a pub? We both laughed, he used to watch a movie growing up called, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, which was one of Sean Connery's first movies and it's about leprechauns. I guess their favorite thing to do is drink, so... perfect trap right? Jonathon didn't get it, but we had a laugh :)

Jonathon was a little dissapointed that the trap didn't work and the leprechaun got away, but he was happy that he left a bunch of his gold coins for us.

Chocolate gold coins from See's are what my mom used to get us each year, they are the best. Happy guy on his way to his preschool St. Patty's day party :)

While Jonathon was at school and Caleb napped I made these, so fun!

Our green dinner :) 

 

Caleb loved his green mashed potatoes :) Isn't he getting so big!?

 

We went bowling as well and Jonathon had a blast. We went bowling to commemorate our first date, 7 years ago, when Jake took me bowling on a group date. I still have the socks he bought me that night because I forgot to bring a pair, which he wrote on after our date with a green marker, "Jake and Ashley's first date! March 17, 2004."

Jake's wearing his "lucky buns" t-shirt, he bought us both one when we were dating. It was the best breakfast place near UVU that we used to eat at before school, which had all you can eat pancakes and biscuits and gravy for like $2!

Good memories, good day, good times with our little family. And yes, we celebrate because I am part Irish as well, my paternal Grandma is half Irish, maiden name, McConnell :)
