March Weekending

We had a fun St Patrick's Day weekend!  Lots of rainbow foods, lots of March Madness and lots of family time.  We even woke up to snow flurries yesterday.

Friday morning these cuties put on their matching shamrock t-shirts and were ready for school.  I dropped them off to Irish music blasting and Fletcher had some leprechauns visit his classroom.  His teacher went to great lengths to have leprechauns visit each of their leprechaun traps.  Fletcher's had a rainbow bridge built up the side of it and they had a popcorn treat.

Real life: About half the time, our group pictures end up with someone in a headlock or someone crying.  haha

We don't really do St Patrick's Day gifts, but I always do rainbow treat cups for the kids.  They loved the gold chocolate coins and a friend shared water beads with us.  The kids love them so they were so excited to have a rainbow to play with.

Leo got to spend some time with Mimi & Papaw because I had an appointment.  He had a blast and enjoyed a rainbow muffin tin spread for lunch.

All of my kids love a snacky meal like this.  These 12 slot mini muffin pans are hard to find, but if you've got one, they're just perfect for kid meals.

We made rainbow cupcakes.  Olive helped me ice them after school.

The big kids sorted their water beads by color and made a rainbow.

Kevin bought St Patrick's Day suckers for his class on St. Patrick's Day.  He said the college kids loved them!

Our kids loved the extras!

 Lots of silliness and lots of March Madness!  We love cheering for IU and were sad to see them knocked out last night.

I made another rainbow charcuterie board for dinner with homemade bread.

Fletcher went to a buddy's birthday party at a neat indoor play place called Deep Blue.  He loved all the climbing opportunities and time with school friends.  It's not easy to make friends at a big school so it always makes us so happy when the kids make friend connections outside of school.

Good job, Fletch!!

Olive and I did some major reorganizing, rearranging and work in her new room.  My sister gave her this desk and she's thrilled to have her own work space.  She currently shares a room with Fletcher, but is excited for the boys to share a room so that she can have her own room.  Eventually the kids will probably each move to their own room.  Fletcher loves to share a room so we'll do an Olive room and a boy's room.

I made my famous rainbow jello.  It takes hours - 20 minutes for every layer - but it is so good!  And so festive!  My jello loving teacher friend in Utah taught me how to make it years and years ago.  We all look forward to this treat every March.

Fletcher's friend from school gave out Crumbl valentines.  Each card was a gift card for one free Crumbl cookie.  He picked out their HUGE chocolate chip cookie to try and it was pretty yummy.  The kids loved it and it was one of the biggest cookies I've ever seen.  We all shared it and had some leftover.

I hope you have a wonderful week!
