Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Everyone was so excited to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, especially with these cheesy little hats from the dollar store.  Ethan was excited to put his hat on, but then it was uncomfortable and he has the cutest sad look going on in this picture!

 I read "Green Eggs and Ham," which completely captivated everyone. (Not all the stories I have read have done this, so you know Dr. Suess is just genius!)

 

Then I told everyone we were going to try green food just like the character from the book and since the letter was "Y"  we would decide if foods tasted Yummy or Yucky.  The one rule was that you couldn't say if it was Yummy or Yucky until you tried it.

 Look at all that Yummy green food!

Apples
Celery
Spinach
Kiwi
Green Eggs
Lucky Charms (not pictured below, use imagination)

 The kids were awesome at trying food and shockingly everybody liked almost everything.  Mason, London, Lucy and Ethan all said Yummy to everything (I don't know if it was just good peer pressure?)  Matthew stood his ground and said Yucky to celery, kiwi, and green eggs, but yummy for apples, spinach and Lucky Charms.  I could not convince him that green eggs tasted the same as yellow ones, and I think he just barely licked them, so I don't know if that was a fair test! But he tried!

Then it was time for Riverdance!  I showed them a video and then put them in a line and told them to try it

Here is the Rehearsal (Basically Riverdance Moshpit, I edited out all the violence):


And the moment you have all been waiting for the final performance (which was made complete with a single line of duct tape...sure eased Lucy's nerves too!):

Dave didn't have to go into work until later, so he helped out with some entertainment!

We made some fun 4 leaf clover crafts and then got ready to hunt down the pot of gold!

Inside we found gold chocolate and four leaf clover bubbles!
