Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
I really do love all holidays so we have been having fun getting ready for St. Patrick's Day. We started out this month with a fun photo shoot. Lily and her sweet friend, Hailey got their pics taken together. Aren't they adorable?!
St. Patrick's Day can not be celebrated without Lucky Charms cereal. This is the only time of the year that I buy that cereal so Lily was so excited. Ofcourse, I made her do some learning activities with her cereal first.


Here is Lily showing Valerie how to sort the cereal by shapes.


Then Lily worked on graphing her Lucky Charms. We have been practicing our graphing a lot and I was amazed that Lily really did not need my help with the graph.



At the bottom of the graph, there were questions about which one had the most and the least, etc. I helped Lily with reading this, but she did a great job at knowing all of the answers!




And our main activity for St. Patrick's Day is..........trying to catch a Leprechaun!!!!


Lily made a box that is being held up by a toilet roll. She decorated with stickers and she put a peanut under it. She is checking it often to see if she has caught a Leprechaun!





However, we had one little mess up. We forgot to tell Valerie to stay away from the peanut. Yes, she did set the trap and eat the peanut. We are trying again. If the peanut doesn't work, what do you think we should use to catch a Leprechaun?????
Everyone wish us luck! We will update if we catch one!





Oh and ofcourse, I am making corned beef and cabbage for dinner to celebrate the holiday!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from all of us to you!

  1. I think you could catch a leprechaun with money...they're always after that pot of gold.
