Happy St. Patrick's Day

We did lots of fun things to celebrate and learn about St. Patrick's Day today. 

We started the day with green eggs (with spinach), which I was
delighted that Will loved.  He actually finished those before his jelly toast!
Then we had a treasure hunt - each shamrock he found had a riddle
leading him to the next one...
And finally to the pot of gold.  Will thought it was a jar of pennies!
Had I known he would be that excited about pennies I would not have
spent so much time searching for chocolate gold coins at Wal-mart last night!
Later we decorated shamrocks and learned about St. Patrick
with Natalee and Brady.
The inevitable tongue hanging out!!  He was concentrating so hard!
For lunch we made green (spinach) macaroni and cheese with kiwi shamrocks.
All three kids actually enjoyed the green macaroni.
Shamrock breadsticks accompanied lunch,
with green spinach cupcakes for dessert.
Then we played outside and enjoyed the beautiful, warm day!
Will's last treat of the day was making a green smoothie with Daddy.
