Happy Belated St. PADDY'S DAY!!!!!

This is one holiday that my family loves!  My two teenagers are actually living on the wrong continent!  They love gaelic, irish music and irish history!  Their Music instructor  recently stopped playing for Patty Loveless and went on tour with the Chieftains for a month!  If you don't know who the chieftains are, then you need to look them up!  They are an AMAZING Irish group!  WE drove to Atlanta to see their instructor and go to one of the concerts that they were doing with the Atlanta Symphony!  The grils were awed!  I was too!  Their teacher took us back stage and my 13 year old got her tin whistle signed by the Chieftains!  It was loads of fun!  Anyways, we celebrated St. Paddy's day ! First we started with green Keifer Waffles!  Doesn't that look ....um....er..... appetizing?! They were better than they look!  That and turkey bacon, are awesome!





Along with Rainbow Keifer shakes!  If you don't know about  Keifer, you really should!  It is one of the best things that I have done for my family, lately!  It is packed full of B vitamins and natural probiotics and it gives us LOTS of energy!  It also wards off stomach bugs and is a great preventative! Other wonderful side effects are, that it takes away your craving for sugar, juice, and a lot of bread!  I actually use it as a meal replacement and have lost three pounds without being hungry!  My grains are multiplying like crazy !  WE make fruit shakes out of ours and it is a wonderful replacement for buttermilk when baking!


We made rainbow witnessing bracelets for the younger set.


This was in the younger ones, treat bags (Dollar store find!)



This was a pic that was taken and sent to their music teacher while she was on tour!  It's in Gaelic, but I'm sure you can you figure out what it says!  We then sent it to all our friends and some family!  The shirts came from Old Navy!  I love that store!

Their workboxes contained theis little printable workbook on Ireland. 

This was in the older girl's workboxes!

We then made cupcakes for an elderly woman whose birthday is around St. Patty's day! 


Then, we finsihed with a GREAT Bible Study that I found, on Luck!  Check it out!

http://www.crossroadsathens.com/UserFiles/File/Going-Green.pdf this is defintely worth printing out!  The title is called
GOING GREEN! (it's not about our environmental woes, though


AND our GREEN dinner! Pistachio Pudding, Guacamole and chips, Green relish tray, Green soda floats and Roastbeef and swiss sandwhiches!.



We also have started a weird tradition of buying those seasonal socks for all the holdiays and taking pictures like this.  The girls started it and think that it's fun!  The blue  ones had rainbows on them!
