Happy St.Patrick's Day!

Today was preschool day at our house, which was so fun because it is St. Patty's Day! We started off reading a book about Leprechauns, and coloring a picture of one with a rainbow and a pot of gold. We did this outside since it is simply gorgeous today- and then the boys were raring to go out in the backyard and play. Far be it from me to tell three little boys not to play in the dirt and run around- so they did, along with the girls. Harris joined in and we had wagon rides, and digging time with the kid-sized shovel and rake. I made lunches and we ate al fresco, then we gathered on a blanket and read about St. Patrick and how he took the good news about Jesus to Ireland. We talked about how he used the shamrock to illustrate the Trinity- three leaves (we counted them), three persons in the Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We even hunted and found our own patch of shamrocks and picked some. Then there was alot of running around and hollering and barefeet and smiling. It was wonderful. These kids were so glad to feel the grass between their toes!


Lemme out too, Momma!

Mella and Harris go for a ride.

A yummy, green lunch! (Nope, no one ate the green pepper.)
