St. Patrick's Day

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day one day early in preschool.
When the kids walked into the classroom, it was a mess with leprechaun hair, shamrock stickers, gold coins, and footprints. Those leprechauns sure know how to make chaos!

And although my kids had repeated the whole "follow the leprechaun footprints to the pot of gold" twice in preschool the day before, they still were completely thrilled and surprised to find more footprints coming out of the vent in the hallway on St. Patrick's Day morning.

We invited some families in our ward over for corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes and traditional irish soda bread. There were three 3 year olds, Taylee, and 2 babies. It was really fun. We love getting to know people in our area better.

For Family Home Evening the Monday before St. Patrick's Day,

I copied a lesson idea from Everyday Food Storage about Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost being separate beings but one in purpose. We had a fun time. Ty and I are really loving the ages our kids are at. They're independent, but still need and love us. I LOVE watching them learn so much and seeing those "aha" moments in their eyes. Ty picked out which green jello we'd be using in our cookies...it was lime. The cookies turned out pretty limey tasting, which ended up being good because I didn't devour them all.
