St. Patrick's Day

We had so much fun celebrating St. Patrick's Day this year. In anticipation of the holiday, we made rainbow pancakes!We found an adorable craft to make for her teachers. I can't remember which site I saw it on, but if you goodSo sweet!

Kaitlyn made a short visit to preschool that day since she was not quite over her bronchitis. I brought her just long enough for snack and the 'Leprechaun Hunt'.
Her class had fun following the little green 'guys' footprints all around school. When they returned to their classroom, they found it turned 'upside down' with chairs knocked over and coats pulled off hooks. But they didn't mind picking up the mess because they found a pot of 'gold' and lots of gold coins scattered around the room.


Here they are looking for gold coins.

We decorated shamrocks by first dipping an egg whip in glue, then pressing it on paper and sprinkling glitter over the glue. We also had fun making rainbow cupcakes.

On the actual holiday, Kaitlyn awoke to shiny shamrocks scattered all over the house and clues that led her from room to room until she found a 'pot of gold' in the kitchen.



And Kelsey was here for all the fun too but this is the only photo I snapped of her ... contemplating whether or not she wants to eat her green pancake!
