St. Patrick's Day

The kids had no school on Monday and since Tuesday was St. Patrick's Day, we decided to get crafty. The older 3 made some fun rainbow art with pots of gold at the end. And we made some mint truffles for their teachers.



 Gwen was totally annoyed when she realized her picture looked nothing like a rainbow.
 Caleb played happily and watched his big brother and sisters do their thing.

They decorated their treasure box for the Leprechaun to leave his treasure. Tessa even left him a note on the box.

 Our Leprechaun was super sneaky this year and hid the treasure box in the washing machine. 
 But he filled it with lots of fun things!

 He also left a big, green maze of ribbon all over the house.
 Adam and Tessa were up bright and early to see what had happened while they slept. They found their treasure box rather quickly!


 They went through all of their loot and then put it away so Gwen would be surprised when she woke up. 



 Caleb's first St. Patrick's Day was a pretty lame one. Mommy didn't even have anything green to dress him in. But he liked chomping on the green frisbee they got.
 We had rainbow pancakes for breakfast.
 We had yummy Ruben Sandwiches for dinner with green drinks. They kids tried out their silly straws they got from the Leprechaun.
