When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

Abigail's Irish Step Class Singing

(Kindergarten project)

It was such a family weekend for the four of us... and so it was just wonderful.

On Sunday after Anna and I got home from Church School we made these cute little leprechauns.  I'd forgotten how good it feels to get out the paint and glue with my girls.

Our schedules with them are oh so busy that we don't make enough time for little projects that mean so much to them.

And deep down I know it's not the projects but the time spent all together.

So I vowed to do more hands on projects with them while they still adore it. 

There were fun to make and I found them on line!

They ended up playing with them in their imaginary worlds for the rest of the day.  I think from the other room I heard a wedding with their little Leprechaun girl and boy.

We read all of our Saint Patrick's Day books and it felt so good to unwind.

And we made little shamrock cookies.

Off to my parents for an Irish Feast.  It was so festive and oh so good.

Yes, family time is the best time. And although it goes by too quickly we cherish each silly moment.
