sunshine

The sunshine has come out !It has been a gorgeous week this week with the blue sky's and the sun shining  . I sure missed it . The kids and I have been taking walks . Doing some back yard science experiments . Playing at the park . But the best thing is just taking a moment to bask in the sun . Have you stopped to bask in the sun today ?

The Zoo

So yesterday we took the kids to the zoo. It was a lovely day. As I walked around the zoo with my family I couldn’t help but notice how well behaved my children were and it filled me with joy and pride for them. Favorite moment yesterday: sitting in the fresh green grass blowing bubbles for my Jade while Travis and Austin threw the football around behind us .Oh happy day, warm sun, good company, makes my heart smile.

Granola

Favorite moment today: spent the morning in the kitchen with some of the cutest kitchen helpers ever. Made a new recipe for granola I got from my friend Jamie http://looksgoodinpolkadots.wordpress.com added some chocolate cranberries ‘and raisins to it are so yummy. Thank you Jamie!

LEGEND OF THE LEPRECHAUNS

LEGEND OF THE LEPRECHAUNS

Full of magic and trickery, the leprechauns remain in their hidden world until the night before St. Patrick's Day. On that one night of the year they appear throughout the world to dance and sing and frolic.

Disguising themselves as leaves and grass, and sounding like the wind and the crickets, they come and go unnoticed.

However, it is said that if a decorated treasure box is left empty under the moon, the leprechauns must fill the box with gold or jewels or gifts. But then they will hide the filled box in the most unlikely of places.

If the box is found on St. Patrick's Day, the treasure remains in our world. If not, the leprechauns may retrieve what is rightfully theirs. And though the leprechauns are very clever, it is not impossible to find the treasure because, unknowingly, leprechauns often leave a trail of greenery behind them.

My kids loved this activity today .My favorite moment
