Our kids look forward every year to the one day that they are allowed to eat a super sugary cereal for breakfast. Its silly- but they love it, so I've let them have Lucky Charms since Asher and Leif were little. Natalie has been checking out the box for the last week or so and when I explained that she could have them on St. Patrick's Day she exclaimed, "I love March!"
This has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day, but just turned out to be what we were doing for our history/art lesson for the day. We did a project using potato stamps to learn more about the printing press. We talked about how many trials and errors it took before the printing press was possible and the kids learned different techniques for cutting their stamps and stamping them onto the paper. We originally started out just with shapes from mini cookie cutters, but Leif soon wanted to make the letters for his name and Asher and Heidi wanted to try as well. Helpfully, they share quite a few letters, so they could use the same stamps. Heidi's name worked out the best since I helped her make her stamps or she stole from Leif. I guess I never got a picture of Leif printing his name, which is too bad because it was his idea, but they had a lot of fun learning and being creative.
When your Dad and I were first married I used Potato stamping to make our Christmas Paper!! It was actually a lot of FUN!! LOve you all Nonna
