"Parents must bring light and truth into their homes by one family prayer, one scripture study session, one family home evening, one book read aloud, one song, and one family meal at a time. They know that the influence of righteous, conscientious, persistent, daily parenting is among the most powerful and sustaining forces for good in the world. The health of any society, the happiness of its people, their prosperity, and their peace all find common roots in the teaching of children in the home." - Elder L. Tom Perry

St. Patrick's Day

Isabelle was SO excited for St. Patrick's Day this year because her school said that all the kids could wear green instead of their regular uniform. She knew EXACTLY what she was going to wear: her green John Deere tractor shirt.
A little leprechaun stopped by and left a rainbow treasure hunt for the kids to do first thing in the morning before we left for school/work. There were four leaf clovers hidden all over the house for every color of the rainbow and they had cute clues on them to help the kids search for their hidden treasure!
-I love Hyrum's expression in this pic!-

-They found the hidden treasure!!-

-Isabelle made a leprechaun trap at school :) -
I was pretty lame in the "green" food department- things are always so crazy during the week while I am working full time. The kids did get green milk in their cereal, green sour cream on their baked potatoes, celery, green grapes, green juice boxes... simple stuff :) I love being a mom!
