Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!  I have a special love for SPD since I became a Curran!!!  I grew up a Brown….and never really had a heritage!  Since, I always pretended to be a redhead, I married into a family of redheads….and they are Irish!!!  Well, sort of…needless to say I struck out in the redhead department.  But, I do get to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a little more enthusiasm.

So, here is how we are celebrating this year….

I ironed my favorite white linen tablecloth and used my random green pieces to celebrate the holiday!!!!

My favorite green piece is a little box that my grandmother gave me.  It is said to be a “first curl” box and actually holds a curl of my great grandmother’s hair…I know, it is a little weird, but I think it is beautiful and a neat thing to have.

Then, just for good measure, I had to put some glittery Leprechaun hats on the mantle just to torment the children…..not really, I just really like them.

That is it for decor…..a bit cheesy, but the boys love to see the house with a few details to celebrate whatever holiday is coming.

Then, nothing says St. Patrick’s Day like GREEN play dough. And now it covers my kitchen floor….but, a good time was had by all.

Finally, the big celebration will come when the Curran Cousins Convene over here on Saturday for a little Green Chili.
