St. Patrick's Day: Going a little Green

We tried Jessica Seinfeld's green eggs for breakfast on Saturday, as an early celebration of St. Patrick's Day. That didn't go well. Our kids hold onto this strange idea that eggs are meant to be yellow instead of green. Reading Green Eggs and Ham over and over again this past week didn't convince them. They were adamant that green things are not to be eaten (this would explain some of the problems we are having with vegetables remaining uneaten on some of their plates). Where is that Sam I Am when you need him?
So, for St. Patrick's Day, we went only a little green: mint green plates and green pancakes, but white cream and milk. Maybe we will be a little more adventurous next year. Luckily, the kids loved the pancakes.
Grant was in the full spirit of the holiday in his green Thomas pajamas! These are his favorite pajamas and he cries when I change him out of them into his clothes in the morning. So, I let him wear them for awhile longer this morning.
Here are our other two "a little bit of green" lovers! It took some convincing to get Carston to even try the pancakes, luckily he was pleasantly surprised. Jackson is our only true green lover. He would have eaten the green eggs again. Luckily, he saves me from full failure as my only child who loves green vegetables!
Next year, we are going to go ALL green. Watch out!
