Do you know the history of St. Patrick's Day? I didn't until a few days ago when I looked on the internet to figure out what I would do with the kids to celebrate. According to the information I found, St. Patrick went to Ireland and used a clover to teach about the three persons of God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Cool!
So we celebrated our holiday with a little history lesson and discussion about how many leaves are on a typical clover. Because of story books the kids first answered 4 leaves. Then we enjoyed some green scrambled eggs and green milk for breakfast. For supper we had green milk, green mashed potatoes and peas. We also had green rice krispie treats, green Jell-O and pistachio pudding during the day. Finally we made a list of all the things we could think of that are green, I think we got 23 items.
Hope you had a great day celebrating!
