Saint Paddy’s Day 2015

I hope you all had a lovely feast day! We sure did. I got to start off my day with my first ever hot yoga class which I loved. My friend turned me onto a sweet deal and I can’t wait to go back. So, I got home at 7:15 am all refreshed (and extremely sweaty) ready to tackle the day. My awesome hubs had watched the kids (did I mention it was my first time leaving them?! BIG step for this mama!). He had them all ready to go so we could get him to work. I’m a lucky lady!

By the time we got back Zelie was very ready for her morning nap. She has been not doing well with naps lately. so, i prepped caidoc with his timmy time show so i could get her down and then spend some alone time with Caidoc.

When Zelie woke up we started our first activity of the day, green muffins!

 

How are these green? Why about 3 whopping cups of spinich!

While the muffins were baking I did a shamrock craft with Caidoc using  a cork and some green paint. He loved it! And it will go into his art binder once its been up on the fridge for awhile.

I used the craft to explain the Trinity, and why Saint Patrick was important. Then I showed him a clover from the yard and he was so excited to paint them!

We made sure we dropped some muffins off for daddy at work since it is his feast day after all.

Dinner was extra delish since it is a feast day, boy, did we feast!

Baked potato with avacado and cheese. Kale salad. Polish sausage. I highly recommended avacado with baked potato. It is amazing.

I wanted Caidoc to watch this kid St. Patrick little video that’s just a 30 minute story about St . Paddy’s life, but he didn’t like the part where he gets kidnapped so he asked for it to be turned off 🙁 I was bummed. Maybe he will like it when he’s a bit older. I grew up with this movie and loved it, it’s very mild, but he’s very sensitive. He was so excited, oh well! Next time. I got a cute picture out of it anyways 😉

One of the best parts of the day was explaining to Caidoc that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and that Caidoc’s very own name saint was preached Ireland as a priest. Well, that story went over very well apparently because he went around talking about how today was “his” day. Hmm, well, close enough.

Hope you had a great day!
