Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had a fun day today! We started the day by "discovering" that a leprechaun had left little green foot prints all over the kitchen (I can't believe I didn't get a pic =() and realizing that he also left a pot of rainbow filled treats on the counter! The boys were so excited! We then had green pancakes shaped like shamrocks!

Below is a pic of one of the pancakes. Doesn't look green, but it was REALLY green when you cut it open!


Here's M (and a little bit of the hubby!) eating their pancakes! M was trying to get some syrup! What good is a pancake without syrup?!

Little A wasn't with it today! He's a sick little guy =( But I took a pic anyways!

Here are rainbow cupcakes I made for a Primary activity last weekend. I iced them white and added rainbow sprinkles and the kids went bananas for them!! I got the recipe from www.familyfun.com. They take a while to make, but I'd be willing to make them once a year!

Hope everyone had a fun day! Make the most of your days, especially if you have little ones! They will be grown and moved out before you know it!!

Feeling Lucky??

For Dr. Seuss day today, we painted a Hop On Pop picture and we will read the book tonight! It's one we already own and we love it! It will be a fun reason to read it again!

Below is a pic of M painting his picture, even though his paper towel is covering it!

There is Little A doing his FAVORITE activity in the world! He would paint until his hands fell off!!

Well, since I am BEYOND ready for spring and we had an awesome thunderstorm last night, I decided to bring a little "green" to our home with a cool LUCKY sign!! My wonderful hubby cut a bunch of 2x4's up for me. He cut them 5,6 and 7 inches in length. After a quick sanding, I painted them the two green colors below. Then I allowed it to dry.

Then, I printed out the word lucky on my computer, made some "stencils" and traced the letters onto the blocks. I also found a cute shamrock shape and did the same. I then very slowly painted the letters and the shamrocks on the blocks. I LOVE THEM and I love the way they look on my shelf!!

I am so excited for spring and for the other blocks I will be making for Easter and Spring and memorial day and...well you get the picture!! I am a holiday and birthday FANATIC!!!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
