Happy St. Patties!

So I decided to wear green today and tomorrow, tomorrow being the actual St. Patricks day but today being a good day to get amped about it. I figure that since Celtic Fest is going on from today until Sunday, other people may be doing the same and we should really just make a habit of wearing mostly green all through March. Green is such a great colour! Makes you think of plants, aliens and reptiles, all awesome things.

In honor of tomorrows date I made shamrock balloon animals today which I think came out pretty well!  (See above..those are shamrocks!)
Sunday I am going to be doing some face painting at the St. Patties day parade downtown. Just look for the girl with the shamrock deedly-bobbers and the massive gold petticoat (on of my prize possessions, obviously).  I'm curious about what it's going to be like down at the parade because there wasn't one last year as far as I know, and I missed the one the year before that (busy mob of jolly irish people most likely!). I'll also be at the Granville Island Kids Market with Luke for a bit, face painting the wee ones with rainbows and pots of gold. St. Patties is a great way to start our two week stint face painting there, now I just need to find a leprechaun hat for Luke to go with my festive deedly-bobbers (deedly-bobbers being a real Irish term, of course). Here's wishing you all a green and great St. Patricks day, Eireann go Brach!
