My Green decor. I haven't put it out in years. The boys helped me make a ton of yarn pompoms for the smaller apothecary jar. The picture says "Keep Calm and Pinch On."
We had a fun St. Patty's Day this year. Braden was asked to create a leprechaun trap for school. I wanted to make it awesome, but after some sage advice following a post on Facebook I realized it was
his project to do, not mine. So, I let him loose with the glitter, markers and hot glue gun. The teacher
It was so fun to listen to Berkley. He had so many questions about the leprechaun. When he ultimately realized the trap would be going to school and not staying home to catch it, he was pretty upset!
We used a can from food storage and spray painted it. Glittered some popsicle sticks to make a rainbow. Glittered rocks from the back yard for gold. Made a ladder out of yarn and straws. It was fun. We had to make a trap door, to keep him in of course. We had lured him through the toilet paper roll to the gold and along the way we cut the trap door in the can's lid. And since those pesky green guys like to be naughty and ignore signs, we made sure he would have no problem breaking the rules for the gold! And yes, I went a little crazy with the glitter. So sue me.
Then, while Rusty was at a BBQ store event buying his aptly named
"Big Green Egg", Noni and Pops had the kids over for a treasure hunt and treat.
Cindi got the idea off Pinterest, it was a yummy cake with just a bit of mint. Yummmm.
This is Rusty's newest obsession. It's called The Big Green Egg. It is a smoker, convection oven amazing thing. We have had it just two weeks and already he has made rack of beef and pork ribs, whole roasted chicken, chocolate chip cookies, an apple crostada, pizza and turkey burgers. It is really nice to know that come this summer I won't have to turn on my oven indoors to cook!
