Not really talking about the enviroment here, I'm about as un-enviromentally friendly as you can get (I do recycle, I just love disposable diapers, paper plates, and bottled water), but we've seen a lot of green over the past week. Our St. Patrick's Day traditions carried on this year with our little leprechaun friend leaving green M&M "poop" or trails, as well as tiny footprints all over some of the furniture and the kids faces. We also set up our leprechaun trap which was made out of a metal box this year so he couldn't punch through and was set on the floor so he couldn't push it to the edge of a table and escape, but somehow, we STILL didn't catch him, but we did get his hat! Elle felt bad that we had it, so she wrote him a note. I'm a little surprised the twins are still into this, but I'll take it as long as I can get it.
We've also seen a lot of green in the backyard. Bud takes a lot of pride in his yard and the grass has been looking especially nice lately (I'm sure we're overwatering, sorry again enviroment :)). Over the winter, Bud also planted our first "test garden". We lost the Siberian tomatoes, weird since they should've been able to handle MUCH colder temps, but we got to harvest some beautiful beets, some small carrots, and green onions. It was really fun for us to be able to pick the food and the kids even wanted to try some of it. Bud's hooked and the same day we harvested, he planted more tomatoes, corn, strawberries, and squash.
Hopefully we'll have even better results with our summer garden.

Your garden looks awesome! We are going to give it a try this summer and are hoping for some success. I love your St. Patty's day tradition.
