St Patrick's Day

Our St. Patrick's Day was pretty low key. The day before, Atticus and I did a color-sorting activity that involved putting together a special treat for Daddy. It was the first "official" color-sorting that we have really tried to have Atticus do and we couldn't believe how much he enjoyed it.

We started with Skittles; one bag of fun packs. Yes, skittles. And no, Atticus did not eat any. Pretty sure he had no idea that they were even edible (although, them being edible is slightly subjective). Atticus helped me open up all the packages and pour them into one container.

I put out five small paper plates on the table (one for each Skittle color) and placed a few Skittles of the same color on each plate. Then, I showed Atticus how to pick one Skittle out of the container and place it on the plate with the corresponding color. Then away he went. He was focused and very determined.

Atticus went through the whole container of Skittles and then wanted to start over again!

Then Atticus layered each color into a little jar. We closed it up and tied on a little rainbow card with a message for Daddy about how lucky we are to have him as our "pot of gold". Yes, it was cheesy but we like cheese. Not to mention, we are pretty lucky.

All ready for Daddy! It was layered by color, but a couple quick shakes from Atticus remedied that.

Atticus surprised Daddy on St. Patrick's Day after breakfast by giving him a jar of rainbow candy for him to keep on his desk at work. And Daddy loved it. Although, Daddy would love anything that came from Mommy and Atticus - especially when it's edible.

The boys looking pretty good for 6am. Daddy reading the card.

Of course we did have some Irish Colcannon for dinner, to get our fill of green food. 

A delicious day.
