Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I hope that you have all had a great day! We have had a very busy day, but it has been lots of fun!
Our morning began with green eggs and ham for breakfast. Not to mention some green milk as well. Some were happy about it.......
Some were not so sure. Will usually LOVES eggs, but he would not touch the green ones! Fortunately, the biscuits were not green! :)
After breakfast, Will, Helen and I went to BSF and Beckett went to enrichment class. After BSF, we picked Beckett up from class a bit early and headed to church where we were having our Homeschool Family Connection St. Patrick's Day party! Here is a picture of Beckett with his buddy Matt. Check out Beckett's green shirt! It is perfect for him! He would eat pizza every day and every meal, so a pizza food pyramid would be right up his alley!
At the party, we learned all about Ireland's favorite patron saint, St. Patrick; and then we talked about many of the other symbols that are associated with St. Patrick's day. This is a picture of the kids playing a game called "Leprechaun, leprechaun where's your gold?" Helen was the leprechaun and someone was stealing her gold. She had to figure out who had taken her gold coins.
A little later, the kids sorted and graphed Lucky Charms marshmallows! A yummy math activity!
Just a couple of my cutie leprechauns!
Beckett back at the refreshment table going for seconds! Lots of green goodies and drinks to enjoy!
Here is a picture of the whole group! It was a fun afternoon!

I'm serving corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Hope it goes over better than the green eggs!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
