St. Patty's Day Fun!

The wifi at our beach house was having issues, so I didn't bother trying to blog in the few moments I was able to connect.... so we're going back to St. Patty's day and beach posts will come soon!

The Junior League of Murfreesboro hosted its 3rd annual "Luck 'O' the 'Boro" fund raising event this year and for the second time I was on the committee! This time was so much fun because we really changed things from last year and made it a great event! It didn't hurt that La, Moo, and myself were all on a committee together!! :-) Here is the whole committee with our favorite Indian Hills contact!!

It was a great night with food from Jim and Nicks that was SO yummy! I strongly encourage everyone to consider them for your catering needs.... they do it all (dishes, silverware, drinks, set up, clean up.... everything!) and they do it well and they were very affordable!

We also had dancing... LOTS of dancing! Magnolia - a great band - played the night away while we danced the night away! They played such fun music and did such a good job as well! We were very pleased!

We had to, of course get the three amigo shot! :-) There was a silent auction as well! We were proud of all the items we were able to get and very proud of the money it raised!

At the end of the night we all felt like the evening was a smashing success! We had a great time and everyone else had complimented us several times on what a fun evening it was! SO, the committee decided to have a little lemon-drop in celebration! (I have no idea who the dude is in our picture, lol!!)

Over the weekend we also had a school project to work on. Lily goes to a magnet school, so she has LOTS of those and Chris just loves it! She usually has homework 3 or 4 nights a week too, but it doesn't take her long! She is SO smart and already reading SO SO well, it amazes me! She can pick up just about anything and read it! Her teacher says she'll be reading at a 2nd graded level by year end! (Sorry for the tangent, can you tell I am proud???) Anyway, her project this week was to make a leprechaun trap! :-) So here are her and her daddy working diligently to make a trap that would certainly catch a leprechaun!

Oddly enough, I didn't take a picture of the finished product, but it was covered in gold coins and shimmery shamrocks and propped up on one end! Under it was a pot of "real" gold coins! CUTE! I hope all of you have a fun and festive St. Patty's day! :-) Ours was wonderful!
