A Slice of Smith Life: Saint Patrick's Day: 2016

Saint Patrick's Day: 2016

This post contains affiliate links.

I'm catching up with blog posts these days, though I do post on my blog's Facebook page, Instagram, and Twitter more regularly. This post is a quick one about how we celebrated Saint Patrick's Day this year. I'll then add this post to my A Slice of Liturgical Life page for my own reference and for anyone who may be interested in reading how we have celebrated the liturgical year.

In the morning, I had this displayed on our kitchen table: Books about Saint Patrick, CCC of America DVD, Patrick Brave Shepherd of the Emerald Isle and pretzel treats that can be made year round. We read about this well-known and beloved Saint and ate our shamrock pretzel treats during the day. We also went to story time at the library where my 2 year old walked around with her cute shamrock headband. :)

Around lunch time, we made some green eggs, but we didn't use green food dye to make them green! We dyed them with red cabbage of all things. I found this fun Green Eggs Chemistry Experiment and decided to give it a try. Cool experiment!

The day before Saint Patrick's Day, we made this fun printable craft inspired by Jessica at Shower of Roses. It was a great and simple craft to do and I love that my 8 year old wanted to make hers with "stain-glass". :)
