'Twas a fine day

Here is my St. Paddy's Post, If you didn't know but you will soon see it is one of my favorite holidays.

The festivities began with our quarterly primary activity. We did a little treasure hunt and found out we are very lucky to have the scriptures and the stories they teach us. We learned that just like our treasure box we have to open the scriptures to get what is inside. The scriptures lead us to Jesus. (their treasure boxes had pictures of Jesus inside too)! This is a picture of the kids drawing their favorite scripture story inside shamrocks! I feel Lucky to be the primary president in our ward. It is very humbling I ask for a lot of help and I get a lot of help! (I love Heath's face in this one.)

Corinne & Wendy we're a big help with the party and wonderful friends. Corinne didn't make the picture cause she was behind the camera! Wendy is my counselor, her son was baptized on St. Patrick's day talk about Lucky!

No party is complete without edible pots of gold the kids thought they were pretty fun! One boy asked me "where is the Pot?" I said in the brownie, then thought not that kind of pot! Hope I don't hear from any parents!

This is Rianne and I on Sunday, sometimes I wonder if we confuse the neighbors "Are they Mormon or Catholic?" The story of St. Patrick does make me think if we know better we should do better!

This isn't a great picture but Rianne was out on her pogo stick, I could see these orange braids through the screen window and I thought "Leapin' Leprechauns" This was the day before St. Patrick's Day!

On St. Patrick's Day morning the kids were excited to track those green shoe prints to find their shoes hidden with little surprises inside. They also noticed the leprechaun jumped on our couch, Heath assured me he was still nice even if he jumped on my couch and did not like us calling him tricky. The leprechaun flipped over chairs and moved couches. Ria was so excited she fell asleep with her head at the foot of her bed watching her shoes, waiting for that tricky leprechaun! He still managed to get her shoe and hide it in the cereal cupboard. Brant got to volunteer in Ria's class sporting his shirt the Leprechauns are after me, fitting with all those 1st graders in green and also later in the day Heath's shirt! We ended our celebration of the green with a delicious dinner, I'm not a fan of Corned Beef but shepherds pie with green mashed potatoes on top was a good fit! I love holidays they break up the monotony of life! Is there a better day, when else is it socially acceptable to pinch people if they are not wearing what they should? I'm sure you are all GREEN with envy on our St. Patrick's Day Celebration!
