It's been an incredibly busy March so far! Last week started off featuring green! We haven't celebrated St Patrick's Day but K was adamant that we celebrate it this year. On March 17, she surprised me by waking up early and coming to the kitchen to declare: "Have the leprechauns been here?" Huh? It appears that some of her classmates get gifts delivered by leprechauns on St Patrick's Day. Hmmm. The little temporary tattoos won some reprieve for me! I baked and sent chocolate cupcakes (with minty green icing) to school and preschool. (I was so tempted to add some sprinkles to the icing but so many sprinkles are made in facilities that produce items with nuts and I don't like risking cross-contamination).
The day following St Patrick's Day, K and N assisted in decorating the house for Easter. (Some Easter decorations made an earlier appearance!) The wee baby chicks are quite popular with K and N who keep swapping around their baskets:
Without a doubt, decorating the Easter tree was overwhelmingly popular in K and N's views this year. I managed to find some Easter decorations on 50% off retail last year which spruced up our tree!! I really should find some tulle for under the tree but I don't think I'm organized enough this year!I now just need to motivate myself to remove my snowflake paraphernalia (which I use to protest the arrival and prolonged stay of snow)!
