St. Patrick's day is usually one of those holidays I don't celebrate. I think the most I've ever done is wear green for the day. This year, I decided to have a play date to celebrate. It was extremely last minute - but it was a blast. We potlucked lunch, had a few Irishy games and decorated cookies. Seriously, it showed me how easy it is for kids to have FUN. And because it was such a succes with so little effort, I've now decided I will celebrate every holiday (no matter how insignificant to me) with a playdate (it sounds a lot less intimidating than a "party").
Here are my tips of a successful playdate -
 |
| Potluck lunch - no one has to break the bank and the kids end up with a feast full of a variety of foods. |
 |
| Have a few SIMPLE activities planned - of course, cookie decorating works for ANY holiday and the kids LOVE it. |
 |
| When possible, have the kids come color coordinated or in costume - they totally sense the difference and it makes for great pictures. |
 |
| And lastly, do it with awesome moms who are fun, beautiful, talented and don't mind last minute kine stuff. |
Hope everyone had a Happy St. Patricks Day!
