I'm really not very good at this blogging thing...This picture has nothing to do with St. Patrick's day, but how funny is she~ Kayla loves to dress up!
Digging for gold coins in the green mess!
A little leprechuan came to the day home and left a trail of clues to lead the kids to the end of the rainbow! My 5 year old was not very tricked but still had fun!
Almost every theme we do I am able to find matching foam shapes that go with it. First I hid the shapes around the playroom a couple times for the kids to find, then I tape the shapes to the floor and they can jump accross them. Last we decorate the shapes.
We made a rainbow cake! The boys mixed the colors up then we layed the colors in a bundt cake pan. Normally we make cake from scratch (there's more things to pour and measure that way and they taste better!) but this time we just used a mix and some food dye.
Before it went in the oven.....
Our bowls. I just liked the picture.
I taped wax paper to the table, gave each of the boys a straw and a spoon full of green water. They then raced their water across their paper squares by blowing it with a straw. This activity was more successful then I thought it would be and I will do it again for the younger kids. I just used a washable marker to dye the water so I wouldn't end up with a green table.
Blake!
This is the pathetic rainbow the boys were led to. I didn't want to do it too early uncase they wanted to play outside and it was windy out so it twisted up alot.
Our special party snack! We were supposed to have green grapes too but I forgot and bought purples ones instead so they are not in the picture. We had lime sherbet with a little bit of sprite.
Another St. Patrick's day activity, green shaving cream painting! The kids definately liked it, but they are not really pictures you can keep, the shaving cream is pretty messy when it dries.
