So today a girlfriend and I had a party for our toddlers (mine + the two she nannys for). We had lots of fun!! We "hid" gold coins (chocolate) around the house for them to find
We had the kids helps us make Green Jello and Green bean cassorle:
While our food was cooking, we did a GREEN shamrock are project:
We did a few rhymes:
Five Green Shamrocks added 2-15-98 Original Author Unknown
Five green shamrocks growing outdoors
(Child's name) picked one, and that left four.
Four little shamrocks, green as they can be.
(Child's name) picked one and that left three.
Three little shamrocks playing peek-a-boo
(Child's name) picked one and that left two.
Two little shamrocks nodding in the sun,
(Child's name) picked one, and that left one.
One little shamrock for St. Patrick's Day fun.
(Child's name) picked it, and that left none.
Cut 5 flannel board shamrocks and let the children make shamrocks on a
stick and place the numbers on the shamrocks for math count.
And finally, ate our food- the chicken was supposed to be green, since I used broccoli puree, but it didn't work as well I thought it would.. but still good :)** Here's the recipe for chicken nuggets with veggie purees **

On a SEPARATE note, but to do with Green celebration.... Here's a new recipe to add to my pile of homemade/non-toxic cleaning products. I already posted about my floor cleaner, but here's a recipe for window/glass cleaner:
1 cup rubbing alcohol + 1 cup of water + 1 Tbslp Vinegar + a few drops of essential oil (for the smell of course). And again, add that to a spray bottle that you can buy at the dollar tree/store.. Don't forget to label it!! Use away :) Here's a helpful hint, I love the method brand of cleaning products, which I'm not using up one bottle at a time and slowly switching to all homemade cleaners.. but Method makes a WONDERFUL window rag that has ridges to catch all the runaway cleaner. I LOVE it.
Hope all of you in the midwest are enjoying this beautiful weather!
