St. Patrick's Day
Pancakes with green tinted cream cheese topping.
Caleb thoroughly enjoyed seeing so much of his favorite color!
Caleb did his Hulk impression
while the girls chatted and patiently waited to start the fun.
You see, the night before St. Patrick's Day, a little leprechaun came to visit our home....
Starting the scavenger hunt:

They figured out the party blowers pretty quickly!
Green blocks are fun!
Doing a jig of their own
(Maddie really enjoyed the music!)

Working some magic!
All the clues put together spelled "Happy St. Patrick's Day"
Caleb showed off by identifying each letter for the girls again.
Unfortunately, they weren't impressed.

The clues led to leprechaun portions of pistachio pudding.
Maddie and Victoria had their finger nails painted
silver with green sparkles...
silver with green sparkles...
...while Caleb colored a picture.
Then they all did some rainbow paintings!
(I think this was Victoria's favorite part.)

After Victoria went home, we had a lunch
of pureed spinach alfredo over leprechaun bow ties
while watching The Secret of Kells.

And for a touch of authenticity, we had fish and colcannon for dinner.
That...didn't go over as well with the kids.
Stay tuned for Caleb's birthday post!

Maddie is 2
Our little girl loves Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which translated into a caterpillar & butterfly filled day (with lots of tasty treats too).
Start the day with pink streamers on your bedroom door and a friend waiting at the end of the hall: check!
Breakfast donuts!
(AND Dad got the day off of work!)
Caterpillar food for lunch
Taste testing Dad's strawberry cream cheese frosting: approved!
Presents!
AND more playtime.
FHE tonight
Tonight, we read about Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 (we're on week 3 of the Old Testament challenge in January's Friend), colored coordinating pictures, ate no-bake cookies and then the children enjoyed "wholesome recreational activities."
Are you dizzy yet?

January 2014: a maze, jumping with a rope, Koolaid water color painting (Caleb was painting the Hulk, sorry my camera cut out), chatting over Playdo, toddlers don't get tired, a big girl bed, and singing after church today.
And that's a wrap!

December 2013: FHE indoor snowball fight, Daddy and Maddie snowball "fight," a quiet moment to herself, getting ready for MORE sledding, and wrapping Daddy's presents.
