Happy St. Patrick's Day!

(a day early!)
We have been busy getting things ready for Aaron's St. Patrick's Day party tomorrow. He had so much fun hosting his Monster Halloween party, that we decided to do another one! It's a special thing for him to be able to do these little parties since he is at home with me this year. Next year he will be in preschool and will have all kinds of fun parties with his classmates.
He created the guest list and helped with the prep...which wasn't much. This was so easy to plan since we used the paper doll cartridge from my cricut for all of the cutouts. Aaron also painted a rainbow with a pot of gold for a decoration. He wasn't sure about it since it wasn't as straight as he wanted it to be, but I think it turned out great!

Tomorrow, each little friend is bringing a green snack to share. We are serving green kool-aid, chocolate covered peeps and a fun rainbow fruit platter. I found the idea in the March issue of Family Fun Magazine. There will be leprechaun paperdolls to put together, a treasure hunt to find a pot of gold, and little pots of gold with rolos and chocolate coins inside for each child to take home.

Hope everyone has a fun filled day!

  4. Someday I think Derrick needs to be transferred here because London and Aaron would have so much fun playing together. I think it's funny he was concerned about his rainbow. That's SO something London would do.

  5. Thanks for stopping by the "shir" post today! :) I noticed we have a little in common (3 little kiddos at home, and doing crafty things with the kiddos, too. ) I love your ideas already! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the shirring.

    Blessings!
