Happy St. Patricks Day

Last night for family home evening we made shamrocks, colored some pictures of Ireland and made some sugar cookies with green frosting. Ella was super excited to set some out and see if it would attract a leprechaun! She was hoping she would be able to catch him. Well, all until Ryan showed her some pictures of scary leprechauns! After some reassurance that she would be fine and that leprechauns are more scared of her she was off to bed.
In the morning the children found that some of the cookies were gone and there was play money and chocolate coins everywhere! Ella wanted to know why it wasn't real money. They thought it was pretty fun and ate plenty of chocolate for breakfast. Well, a couple pieces anyways.
(Thanks Lis for the idea!)


The Jackster has decided that he wants to be a big boy now and sit at the counter with Ella. I'm too afraid to really let him, maybe sometimes if I'm really close.

I went to 4 stores looking for gold coins and no body had any! I guess that's what I get for waiting till the last minute to shop!
