Knick Knack Patty Whack-Updated!!

My Mother in Law took this photo of the ground cover at Silver Falls.

Five days since my last post? I really mean to post more often! My excuse, this time, is that my husband has been gone on a "work trip" to South by SouthWest, leaving me to tend to our 3 young children. Now that he's back in town, I bet you're thinking I am posting after sleeping in and enjoying a good night's sleep. Wrong! So wrong.

Did everyone remember that today is St. Patrick's Day? Does anyone care? I have decided to play Good Sport by taking some of the suggestions from the comment room in my Lucky post. I am hiding gold coins around the house with small prizes attached to them, like an ice cream cone promise or quarters. (News post in the near future: Whitman chokes on a quarter!) I made green thumb print cookies with ganache filling last night. Davy is suppose to be cutting out traced green shamrocks. And of course we're dressing in green. This had better win me a Mother of the Year Award.

I'll post pictures at the end of the day.

I had intended on answering a question but none stood out as being fresh and easy to answer. I have a few waiting for the photos to compliment, but nothing for today.

Hint: breezy, funny questions that don't require a lot of research on my part are the most likely to be answered.

Now I am going to attempt ye old St. Patrick's nap.

UPDATE:
I was way to tired to post last night, so here's what you don't care about today. I am calling it my Irish Tribute, my last name is Irish now, you know, so that gives me right.

Quickly, the kids liked these leprechaun cookies, (do not adjust your screen, they were really this bright), but they LOVED finding the hidden gold coins with treasure attached. I hide them in their bedroom and told them they had to clean their room entirely for the last 2 coins. Suckers.


I felt a little silly rolling around Target dressed like a member of Robin Hoods Merry Men, you know, all in green, so I don't know if I'll do that again.
The closest we will probably get to green eyes:

I'd like to say that that my children's laughter was the highlight of the day, but really it was this:
All the Liberty of London stuff now, briefly, at Target. It's selling like hotcakes so gobble up what you can. I've overloaded on pillows, stationary, plates, and -this is important if you live in my area- the red/pink floral sheath dress, which I plan on wearing, so be warned.

Here comes the tribute part:
Red Hair. Anything but natural red hair has been out of style for several years now, I think we were all burned-out after the 90's. But it's back and fresh again. Still, I do not think blue-based reds are making a comeback. So if you're hankering for red, keep in faux natural.

Alec Baldwin. I think he is really funny on 30 Rock and even when he hosts SNL, which I am way to old to watch.

It's not the most exciting photo, but I cleaned off my table to take it and I stole the greenery from a bush by my friend M.'s house, so enjoy.
Lastly, Becky, I mean Rebecca, was right. I was getting too pick with my request for questions. I was tired and therefore feeling lazy. I can only expect so much from you as you should expect little from me.

The End.
