St. Patrick's Day


We have a unique family tradition of finger-painting with green whipped cream on Saint Patrick's Day. Usually Bill and I join in, too, but today he was working so it was just the girls and me. We draw pictures, create sculptures, and all sorts of things. It is totally silly and FUN (although now that they know they can eat it at the end sometimes I think they rush to get to that part :-) In the picture above, you can see some of our beautiful view.


Yum, cleaning up is the best part.


Even green, Kelsey has the sweetest face.

Caitlyn has gotten much neater since we started this 9 years ago (and the entire project has gotten much neater since I learned to use a disposable tablecloth! ) She doesn't dive right in like she used to. They are all growing up so quickly.
Keegan's suggestion of green bread attracted much more attention than we expected when I made sandwiches to take to the dance studio. It is deliberate, not moldy :-)!

What a fun bunch of mess! :) At first I thought I read shaving cream until I saw the girls eating it. :)
