On March 1st we traditionally decorate our house with an Irish theme. I don’t always do a tree, but Jason Jr. had so much fun with the Valentine tree that I couldn’t resist. I want to keep hearing his, “Pretty lights, Mommy, pretty lights,” as he points to the tree wanting me to turn the lights on each morning.
I have accumulated several Irish t-shirts. We start wearing them on the first day of March. We do get strange looks sometimes. Yesterday after taking little Jason to the doctor I took the kids to Krispy Kreme for donuts since I had free coupons. While we were there a lady walked in and looking from one kid to another finally asked, “Is today St. Patrick’s Day?”
I love doing little things to make things festive. It’s one of life’s Simple Pleasures!
We didn’t get any news at his doctor’s appointment except they want us to keep doing the breathing treatments and would like me to bring him in again next week. Thank you for praying!

Very pretty tree and the t-shirts are so cute. 🙂
You have definitely gotten your moneys worth on that tree! It is so pretty! Hope the little one feels better soon!
The kids are getting taller!!
I love the shirts and the tree is so cute! I hope that little Jason feels better soon!
You are the most festive family I’ve ever known! What great traditions. 🙂
I LOVE your Irish tree idea! What fun! We still have a Christmas tree up (can you believe it?) ~ I should just turn it into an Irish tree!
Thanks for sharing your fun ideas. We celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at our house too!
Warmly,
Cindy 🙂
How fun and little ones just love decorating! Enjoy…a great simple pleasure
How lovely the kids look Esther. Glad to hear that Jason’s back home and on the mend. I hope he’s a hundred percent real soon!
How lucky for your family that you do keep things so fun and festive! Happy March to your family. I am praying for Jason Jr.! and all of you!
Wow…you’re so fun!! What an awesome idea to make March more exciting!
You have such a lovely family and I think that you are wonderful for wanting things to be fun and festive! I admit I am not good in that area myself.:)
Well, enjoy all your pre-St. Patrick’s Day celebrations Mrs. Irish!:)
Love all your traditions! Keeping Hal in our prayers. Poor thing, that must be miserable. =(
Love the tree, t-shirts and smiles! Hope your little fellow feels better soon!
your kids are adorable…love them in their st Pat’s shirts.
You are my kind of MOM!! I used to love to do things like that and miss having kids around the house to give me the excuse to have fun. Somehow, it’s just as fun without them.
I think your kids are so cute, BTW. I love how your little boy is standing up so straight. I can picture you giving the “stand up straight now” mommy pep talk. So cute.
This was a wonderful simple pleasure. I don’t think I’ve been here before. I hope to bring more fun to the SP parties!
I meant to say I hope YOU bring more fun to the SP parties. Good grief…
Holidays are so much fun at your house.
What a great idea to celebrate for the whole month….so festive!! 🙂 Your kids are so cute!!
Top-o-the mornin’ to ya!
And the rest of the day as well 🙂
Your kiddies look so cute in their Irish tee shirts.
It sounds like St Patrick’s Day will be fun in your house!
I pray your little boy recovers quickly from the respiratory issues.
Having 2 asthmatic sons, I know how awful these events can be 🙁
many blessings..Trish
I love the T-shits and tree.
Have a lovely weekend:)
*hugs*
What a great simple pleasure … making the days just a bit more festive. Love it!
What, do you keep the tree up all year? LOL (Sorry, just giving you a hard time. I’m sure your kids love it!)
Awww!! Little JJ looks so cute in that picture!! He’s too adorable! I hope he NEVER changes! <3
