St. Patrick's Day at the Heaths

We were invited to a family St. Patrick's Day party.  We were able to have drinks and the kids played.  It was a great time.

They had 2 cats and a dog.  I was afraid that the kids would be scared but they did great.  Tommy sneezed and coughed for awhile when he ate his dinner but then once he started running around and playing, he was fine.  They ended up LOVING one cat.  Charlotte chased it around and tried to take it home.  Tommy even liked the animals, even the dog.  Really surprised me.  They might be coming around on pets!

I was also really happy that the kids all got along so well.  There were so many kids there. It was nuts.  But super fun for them and us.  Yay for family nights of partying!

Oh and sidenote.  The kids started watching Avatar at 11:30 pm which is when I decided to take our kids home.  The next morning Charlotte grabbed a blue marker and colored her entire lower leg blue. It was impressive.  But hey, she wanted to be an avatar!

School Fun and St. Patrick's Day

 Tommy's class got to play with snow INSIDE the other day.  Miss Kristin put socks on their hands and they went to town. You can see new student/dare devil Jayden in the back.  Owen and Layla are on either side.

 Miss Kristin snapped a quick pic of the masterfully skilled snowball Tommy made too.  That's huge! Way to go, Tommy!

This is one of Tommy's many St. Patrick's Day art projects.  Very cool. Love the ginger finger beard.

Here's the class having a St. Patrick's Day celebration.  Here's what Miss Kristin told us about their day.

• We had lots of fun during gym time helping the clumsy leprechaun pick up his "Golden Ball" (aka yellow) and put them back in his "pot" (aka laundry basket).
  
  While we were doing that he came in our room and put all our honey pots on the wrong color bee and our shapes on the wrong shape! But the kids did great helping me find the colors and shapes I asked for even though they were in wrong place!

That sneaky Leprechaun!!
You can see the other new student, Simon, in orange. Landon, Owen, Tommy and Layla helped too.

So with two new students, that makes 7 (Landon, Logan, Layla, Owen, Simon, Jayden, Tommy... poor Layla is still the only girl).  With state regs, that means that they have to bring in an extra teacher and she starts this week.  The Easter party is next week. So many exciting things happening at school right now!
