1. Procure pots. (We got ours at D.I. Had to remove some silk flowers and green gunk. But overall, worth the .50 cents we paid.)2. Assemble with pipe cleaner rainbows and Easter grass.
3. Add GOLD. 
4. Share with a neighbor/friend/teacher...
And/or...5. Count down to the 17th with a little Irish advent, and listen to daily comments like: "Mom, could I sneak one of these?" or "Dad, do you think we should have a piece of gold?" or "Just one a day, Dad!" After unwrapping today's chocolate, Lucy surveyed the little brown morsel and said, "Oh, Mom. This is wonderful."
A chocolate a day goes a long way.
Lest you think this idea was my own, you can see the inspiration here. (But I'll be honest. I was too lazy to paint terracotta pots.)
And tomorrow, I think we'll do this.
I'm into rainbows this year.
(Quilt in progress. S l o w progress.)
But we'll also be traditionally green tomorrow. Maybe die some food. Eat green peppers cut across the middle because they look like shamrocks - that was a hit with Lucy last year.
What are your green-day traditions??

Oooh. I saw those pots 'o gold and thought they were adorable. William can't wait until "the day we wear green".
I just LOVED the St. Pats. Fun!
In Dad's talk Sunday, he shared some Lucyisms... and brought the house down :)
You Trumans know how to turn a day into a rainbow of loving joy.
I want to be like you. (Dad tells me to keep practicing.)
I love your traditions...we have none but hope to start some soon. Where do you find your websites that help inspire your ideas?
I love the pot of gold!!!
You have such a nice way of making life fun and magical. Thank you for the inspiration; we need a li'l more magic around here.
For St. Patty's day at our house, we'll be eating a green breakfast and maybe (after this post!) delivering some pots of gold to some "lucky" friends :)
Lori, your little ones are soo precious! It would be fun to see you guys sometime before we move! :)
Our favorite for the day would be Rainbow fruit cups with a whip cream cloud and gold (yellow gummybears) on top. :) Have a great day!
Ahh, such fun! Our St. Patrick's Day festivities need some perking up (all we've done is wear green--boring!). My cousin's house is visited by a leprechaun. The kids follow little green footprints throughout the house to find treats. Thanks for the pot of gold idea. And happy green-day, Lori!
Oh my you are the cutest! Those pots and quilt were absolutely adorable and beautiful! Lucy is only lucky little lady to have such a fun mommy!
We did one of our St. Patty's traditions last night--we had Lucky Charms by candle light. Funny, I know, but stay posted to my blog for the full story. :)
I love, love, love your rainbow quilt!
Love the pot, it's very cute! St. Patrick's Day is always on the back burner for us since Evelyn's birthday is that day... but I like to see all the cute things people do to celebrate it!
Lucy and her pot of gold are smiling up at me from my computer desk top this week!
