St. Patricks Day Party then rainbow cupcakes

This morning we had a St. Patricks Day playdate!  The kids had some play time first, then Miss Rebecca read a story about St. Patricks Day!  We then made a really cute shamrock craft before having rainbow cake and green juice!!

This is Jack and his friend having fun together in the playhouse!!

The craft was coloring a shamrock then putting on pieces of green paper with a glue stick!  It was a perfect craft, you know Jack and the gluestick!!

The cake was a bundt cake with rainbow colors!!  We thought that was pretty funny because we had planned on going home and making rainbow cupcakes!!

Jack did most of the work making the cupcakes...the hardest part was dividing up the batter between six bowls and coloring them all different colors!!  I then poured the colors into the cupcake liners and stuck them in the oven!!  I think they came out pretty cool, and Jack was VERY impressed!  He frosted them 'fluffy cloud white' and our snack was done!!

Check these out!!

It's our rainbow leading to the pot of gold...now where is the leprechaun??

An airplane, shamrocks and a 'grass head guy'!

Last night when I got home from work, I found a nice little surprise on the table...Jack and Daddy must have done a little craft project while I was working!  I quickly hung this airplane up in the doorway for everyone to see!

This morning, Jack and I decided to start our St. Patricks Day projects....first up?  Potato stamp shamrocks!

I remember doing this as a kid, you make stamps out of a half of a potato!  We made one shamrock and a pot for all of our 'gold'!   After Jack stamped some pictures on the paper, he glued on some 'gold coins' and colored a rainbow!!  I think it came out cute, and he thought it was pretty funny we used a potato for this craft!  :)

 

(Jack also got some more practice writing his name!)

One last project before naptime.....I picked up a cute little 'guy' that grows grass for hair, so Jack and I let it soak in water for a few minutes before placing him into his plastic 'greenhouse'.  Jack is pretty excited at the thought of giving him a 'haircut' in a week or two!!
