St. Patrick's Day turned out to be a beautiful day here in Michigan. So the boys and I took Emmaline on her first walk here in Michigan. That morning and the days before I reminded the boys about the little fun things we do on St. Patrick's day and they were excited to pick out something green to wear that morning. We took a picture together before going on our walk.

At home, we did a finger painting craft together. Finger painting is probably the boys absolute favorite way of doing art. They also like when they get to do some gluing, so we did these pictures of leprechauns. I cut out the hats, belts, and pots and the boys glued them where they wanted to. When Daddy got home he laughed to see their leprechauns' dreadlock-beards. :) Jared decided to name his leprechauns Jasper and Nicholas (after a boy in my CTR 7 class and another that he played with the other day at a b-day party).

In the evening, I put a clue with a map on it in the mail box. Ryan found it when he got the mail when he got home from work. He showed it to Jared and they were off on a hunt for a pot of gold. That map led to another map and so on, 'til the sixth map led to the rainbow in Emmaline's pack-n-play, which had green packaged cookies under it and a Happy St. Patrick's Day love note from their Mommy Leprechaun. :)
