St. Patrick's Day Decorating

Well, it's the Irish holiday of St. Patrick's Day almost upon us.....I decorated a bit.

I love the cute little leprechaun my class made a few years ago out of laminating empty rolls....they were cute! And look at that awesome tablecloth I actually sewed myself! Yeah, I rock just a little bit on that machine. lol.  

Some of my favorite March St. Patrick's Day story books I read to the kiddos. 

My classroom Calendar bulletin board....I change it out every month to match a holiday or the season. 

 I love the holiday full of rainbows. I taught the kids all about ROY G. BIV. That is the clown who reminds us of the rainbow color order.  Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. I just mix up indigo and violet and call it purple instead. Then they do a pot of gold with a 1 inch x 12 inch strip of each of the 6 colors and glue them on the back of a pot. We add fake coins glittered to the top.

We made Leprechauns, March Book Reports and some Leprechaun similes and pots of gold. 

My classroom St. Patrick's Day Bulletin Board we just finished today at school. I love how it turned out with all these pots of gold and Leprechauns! 

My front entry room table decorated up with St. Patrick's Holiday stuff. 

I love this picture of 2 of my granddaughters from Chuck E. Cheese of all places! 

I love this story The Luckiest Leprechaun! 

Coffee Table with Happy St. Patrick's Day decor at my house. 

I love this holiday. It is fun to get out all the green stuff for March. I'm glad Easter is late this year so we get a whole month to enjoy the Irish stuff. Kiss me I'm Irish!

St. Patricks Day Decorating

St. Patrick's Day is coming up SOON! 

This is one my favorite months of the year. My family were all IRISH! And my mom was an Irish Catholic. We REALLY celebrated St. Patrick's Day every year. I remember dinners where she would actually give us kids a bit of wine with 7 up to toast to some of her favorite SAINTS. 

Those are happy memories of sitting in the formal dining room with my 5 siblings cracking jokes and eating yummy food. I love St. Patrick's DAY!  

I don't have very many decorations for it but I always do at least my entry table and my dining room table in honor of my mother and her love of St. Patrick's Day.  I also decorate my classroom in Shamrocks, leprechauns and GREEN, glittery stuff and of course GOLD wrapped chocolates! 

So in honor of the lucky leprechauns out there, I turned my kitchen and entry hall into a bit o'green today!

And here is my classroom....we've gone green there too. 

My kitchen table is very lucky too. But alas, I have eaten all of those peanut butter cups you see there. I'm not very good at avoiding the gold when I know there is chocolate stuff inside! 

 Happy St. Patrick's Day! And may the LUCK of the IRISH always be with you!
