St. Patrick's Day Celebration

Next Thursday the 17th is St. Patrick's Day!  We are going to celebrate as a family.  I am starting to collect my ideas and I wanted to share them so maybe you could do some of them with your family.  B doesn't have school that day so we will be doing things throughout the day.

I was surprised about the history of St. Patrick's Day, so read up if you haven't already.

**I will continue to add as I find things.**
