Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends!  We had a lot of St. Patrick's Day fun this week.  We're just hours away from Spring Break and I can't wait!  We had a fun week with lots of favorite moments.  The highlights were:

1. When you love Notre Dame, St. Patrick's Day is the easiest holiday to pull together.  Walmart came through for us with the cutest clover gear.

2. St. Patrick's Day in kindergarten was so much fun.  We made Fruit Loop rainbows, played pass the gold coin, wore green and did lots of rainbow art.

3. We can't quit laughing about this.  Leo got a gold coin in his rainbow treat cup.  I was shocked when he said his gold coin was disgusting.  Then I realized he ate the wrapper AND the chocolate.  No wonder he didn't like it.  Silly guy!  I guess I should have told him to unwrap and then eat his gold coin.

4. My favorite Irish guy.  We have no trouble finding green and clovers to wear in March.

5. I made rainbow jello.  My favorite tradition.  12 layers of rainbow jello goodness.  Nevermind the fact that it takes HOURS to make.  20 minutes per layer.  It's worth it.

6. I invited my parents over for St. Patrick's Day dinner.  My mom decided that I shouldn't have to cook after teaching all day so they brought dinner with them.  So sweet and so yummy.

7. I LOVE seeing this guy at chapel.  It's precious to see him with his class.  He usually says "Hello, Mrs. Jordan!" hahaha

8. Fletcher started soccer with all of his school buddies this week.  Our school offers tons of rec sports options and he's loving being able to hang out with his friends outside of school.  None of our kids have ever wanted to play soccer before so we learned about all the gear and got him set up for the season.

9. Sweet notes from my kindergarteners will always be a highlight of my week.

10. Another thing I love about our school - we get to celebrate kid's birthdays!  Families can send in treats, favor bags, etc to celebrate their kids.  We missed that in public schools.  Look at these cute favor bags Fletcher is giving to his class - Hubba Bubba + WWJD bracelets.  Plus I'm sending in chocolate chip cookies.

11. Nosey 24/7.  Extra whiskery.

You'll likely never see Pearl if you came to my house, but when it's just us at home, she's very friendly.  You can usually find her sitting on top of whatever you are currently doing.

12. We dropped Olive to hang out with friends and I took Fletcher to run some errands.  He LOVES samples at Sams, trying new flavors of his favorite foods and enjoys any quality time together.  The weather was gross, but the company was sweet.  He always makes fast friends with the cashiers and sample ladies.

13. Tuxedo cats are nuts.  Mr. Mittens can be found tight rope walking our garage door tracks.

14. Rainbow treat cups for our kids and our neighbor friends.  I look forward to making these every year.

15. Spring pictures!  Olive and I woke up extra early to make sure everything was just right for picture day.  The boys don't have this level of care for picture day.

I hope you had a great week!  I'm taking a few days off for Spring Break.  Maybe the whole week!?  See you back here soon :)
