Lucky clovers

Pin It
Today we did another Saint Patrick's Day craft. We glued sprinkles ( they are super old) on clovers.

Getting in the green spirit :)

What a colorful life

Pin It
Today we wanted to start getting into the holiday season with a St.. Patrick's Day craft.

I had little G help cut strips of colorful paper into squares. And I cut gold coin stickers out of gold sticky back glitter foam. I made a pot out of black construction paper and let little G have at it :)

First he glued on the pot then I drew the lines for his rainbow colors. I was going to start him out by coloring in the lines the colors for each part of the rainbow for him to match but I decided I wanted to see what he thought a rainbow was and see his view. I have to say I think it turned out better! And we still worked on our color recognition.

Then I let him put on his gold coins and lucky clovers.

Our first saint Patrick's day craft <3

From bottom to top

Wow this last week and half has had it major up and downs.

Ups started with little G deciding on his own he wanted to potty train. Averaging one accident a day ( excluding nap and bedtime undies ) even poops!

Then the down... My husbands grandpa died. It has been rough on my FIL and husband and it's sad to hear little G say great grandpa sleeping because I know he doesn't understand :(

And then ups again, little G has gone TWO days in the SAME undies! Yup accident free even nap and bedtime! I want to do a special potty trained party for him if we keep it up :) I am a super proud mama. And he has done it all on his own :)

So between the ups and the downs we are doing okay and moving forward one day at a time. We have so many things to be happy and grateful for and I know that when we hit a rough patch we have each other.

RIP grandpa and great grandpa. You were loved and adored by many. And I know you are better now. Thank you for touching our lives
