We did recently "go green" for St. Patty's day. I am always a rebel, and subconsciously refuse to wear green. Ridiculous, I know. Because Valentines Day I actually wore socks with hearts on them. Wow. I think it's just that I'm daring someone to try and pinch me and see what happens. I think I'd be all too glad to reciprocate.
But the kiddos' daddy dressed them in the only green clothing we could find. Obviously last years warm weather wardrobe needs to be replaced. Tirzah has grown out of everything, green or not, and Merrick demolished everything he owned last Spring/Summer, or managed to cover it in grass stains. But I don't think those count for St. Patty's day attire.
We did manage to get through the day with no pinching. But there was hair pulling. Tirzah's latest hobby is grabbing two handfuls of Merrick's hair and pulling until I pry her fingers loose. He is notoriously tender-headed, and screams (which I think is what she loves...making him scream) until I get her out of his hair.
I guess I could always cut his hair, but then there would only be my hair to pull around here, and I already want to pull it out enough as it is when they have "whiny" days like they did that day. So I guess we'll just have to train Tirzah that brother's hair is off limits, St. Patrick's Day or not.
