Happy St. Patrick's Day!

      
       May angels gather round your door and bring you peace forever more.
     Some people love this day...other's don't. I can understand not liking some of the things that goes on this day...like all the drinking. My friend has to work tonight (he's head bouncer) at the lounge because last year he had to literally toss out a couple drunks being unruly and have one arrested. Why people feel the need to get plastered on this day is beyond me. For fun? There are better ways to do that. Though there is one woman I know who is pagan and doesn't like this whole day at all...and she is Irish too. I don't bother try to argue or get into a discussion about St. Patrick's day as she gets so angry and riled up about it all.
      In Ireland I believe they have the day off and many go to Mass on this day. I have made sure my kids know who St. Patrick was and then I let them be kids by having a little fun with them. Last night my two older kids made their own traps to catch a leprechaun. This year I couldn't find any chocolate gold coins for them to find at the end of the treasure hunt. So I had to use a box of Lucky Charms cereal. Their traps didn't catch any leprechauns but a piece of his clothing seemed to have been caught in one. ;)
     The treasure hunt was they had to find the coloured envelopes which held clues to the next one till they find the "treasure". They also had Green day at school so they tried to find green to wear. My son had me spray paint his hair green with the halloween green hair spray as well as wearing pins, hats and the like. So they will probably have fun today at school. :)
     So play safe out there today and enjoy it. :)
