Whatever Wednesday

My oldest daughter is in first grade and for the last 2 weeks they have had a leperchaun in their room. She has came home with greatest stores from it. His name is Lucky and he has left them numerous notes. One day he "spilled" gold coins all over the floor and then other day he somehow managed to dump one of the children's desk all over the floor ( I do have to wonder if he had the messiest desk in the classroom lol) The best day I think for her was when her class set a trap to catch him and he managed to take it apart and hang it from the ceiling lol. I think it is awesome how her teacher is having so much fun with them. I can't wait to see what he does for the rest of the week!

tasty tuesday

Hi everyone,

Before I post a recipe today.  Let me tell you about my day.  As you know provide childcare in my home.  Well today the children came to lunch to find that someone had turned the milk in their sippy cups green.

So we talked about it and decided that we must have a leprechaun sneaking around the house.  So tomorrow we will be setting a trap for the leprechaun and see if we can catch him during nap time.

Now on to a tasty recipe

Make It Monday rainbow cake

Hi everyone
This week we decided to try and make everything in the blog about St. Patrick's Day.

.

We made this cake last year for Mindy's daughters cake walk at a school carnival.  We our proud to say it was one of the first cakes picked by a lucky winner.  It was very simple to make simply make 2 round cakes and ice them blue then make the rainbow with skittles and the clouds are mini marshmallows.  We also put some skittles on the side for a little more decoration.
Hope you all have a great night.
