It's About the Green....

With my older son in Junior Kindergarden he has learned about St. Patrick's Day. Nate says... "you must wear green on that day"! So I asked him about making some green cupcakes for St. Patrick's day. He was surprised that we could do that. And in all I was excited for two reasons... 1. It is March Break and I need some ideas to keep him entertained & 2. .... I get to make CUPCAKES!!! I love decorating them and watching the boys use thier noggins and get creative. If you have any idea's as to how to decorate them besides just "green icing" please let me know. I will post a picture of the cupcakes once they are made.

Also, If you have any fun idea's to keep my 4 year old active and entertained this week, please share them with me.

One thing that I did find for him, which ties into this blog, is a computer game. "Strawberry Shortcake's cookie party". I got it at Costco for $3 cdn. I know that you are thinking "that's a girly theme"! But it is so much fun. Nate & I sat down for about 2 hours today and played the game. I thought that it was great interaction between parent & child. It was fun working together solving problems, racing down a chocolate river, decorating cake houses and you even get you make cookies. The CD also comes with some cookie recipes. In keeping with the cupcake theme, I would give this game 12 out 12 cupcakes! I may even sneak a game of it on my own once the boys have gone to bed.... shhhh.... our secret! ~Sara
