Well Cai was a little devastated this St. Patricks Day. He got up and got dressed by himself, and in the morning rush I forgot that it was St. Patricks Day. So of course his first School St. Patricks day experience will be traumatic. No GREEN! When I picked him up from school he proclaimed "I had a really bad day mom, I got pinched 3 times. You should have told me to wear a green shirt!" So to make up for it we went home and made green waffles for lunch. Then Cai and Chris were in charge of the Family Home Evening lesson, which of course was about St. Patricks Day. Cai was St. Patrick and wore a kilt, Cole dressed up as the pirates that kidnapped him and introduced him to Christianity and then Cai rid our living room (Ireland) of plastic snakes. Then we were treated to an Irish jig by Cai who danced to the tune of weird Al Yankovich singing about what is worn under a Kilt(nothing). Unfortunately his father treated us all to a picture of a man in a kilt on a windy day. Very appropriate for Family night eh! Besides the colorful visual aids they both did an awesome job, Chris made a matching game, coloring pages, and burned an irish CD to listen to.

Now that sounds like some fun! I loved the dancing, so cute. I too neglected to put green on Halle. I did manage to get the other three wearing some type of green though. ~Candice
Oh, poor Cai!! I loved the green waffle idea. I decided not to do green food this year - might freak Gavin out just a little. I accidentally dressed Gavin in green (he didn't know the difference anyhow). I picked a brown shirt over green for me to wear, duh!!!!! I got pinched by my neighbors little girl and boy. It hurts :-l Love Kerrie.
Too cute. I loveed Cai's little jig. I didn't ever really stop to think about what St. Patrick's day was all about. Way to go Chris and Cai. The pictures of your kids on Easter are so cute.
