One thing that is new this year is Ramsey’s obsession with Elf on a Shelf.. so much that when I put a little leprechaun out he asked if he was watching him to make sure he was good.. Like I am going to turn down an opportunity like that! So we said yes of course! The last few years we have had the kids decorate a baby food jar and leave it out for the leprechauns with a card. This year we are doing it a little different. We told them the leprechauns only come to visit if you have been very good!
I picked up a container of pots like these
And I made a small batch of the potato candies I shared HERE [9], just to try them out.
What I did different was only use about 1/2C (for the half batch) of toasted coconut and I used 1 1/4C of chopped walnuts and added 1/3C powdered sure more than the original recipe. They are pretty cute! Sending some for the teachers this week! This is the ones from last week, cute right?!
And I picked up all our fruit for the rainbow the kids LOVE! This year instead of just yogurt I will give them some of the cute cloud marshmallows too! I don’t have a picture from last year (thank you strep throat medications) But pretty similar to this, minus marshmallows, yogurt instead!
And if I remember a grocery store stop for some white carnations to turn green over night, we haven’t tried this yet but I think our kids would love it!
And we made these rainbow cupcakes from Family Fun last year.. but I think the potato candies are plenty of sugar!
And if we get up early enough I might make these for breakfast!
Hope you all have a good St. Patrick’s Day! Have anything special planned?
