Happy St. Pattie's Day

My cutie-pie leprechaun.

"Come look at my dragon creature, Mama!" is what he said. :)

Ewwww! Slimy train!

Putting in the food coloring (which he used WAY too much of, by the way).

Adding the Borax to the mixture.

He got one in!

The bowlers...and Biscuit, too.

There it goes!

Ooooooh....lining his shot up.

Funny guy in a little hat!

Anybody get pinched out there because you're not wearing GREEN?? Hmmmm?? Bear Cub wore his green today -- I did conveniently leave out the whole "pinching" part when telling him about the holiday...no need to start something new -- and we headed out for a morning of BOWLING with some friends! :)

Once at the alley, we found that the boys much preferred the flashing, mini-Vegas style lights and arcade area, so we were happy to just follow them around. The boys did bowl (and it was probably more age-appropriate anyway) in the arcade area...smaller balls, smaller lanes - perfect for preschoolers! BC had a fun time and we played for a good hour between the bowling and some easy arcade games.

Once home, we had some lunch and it was time to make SLIME! Yup, slime...you read it right. Last week at the library, we checked out a science kids DVD and there was a part about slime. As with most scientific things, Bear Cub has to try it too! Back in my teaching days, a co-worker and her class made the slime and I KNOW it turned out better than ours. Hmmm...can't figure out what went wrong. Ours reminded me of the consistency of an omelette, not slime. Oh well. Bear Cub still had a great time smooshing it around, driving his trains through it, and making "creatures" with it. Good fun on a beautiful Spring day!

Tomorrow is a school day for the man and then I believe we'll just take it easy on Friday. Our days are full around here...it always amazes me. We're looking forward to this weekend when we'll attend our area Air Force base's Air Fest with Mimi. We'll see the Blue Angels fly! Woo-hoo! I'll be sure to post pics of that first-time event for Bear Cub!

Hope you find your pot of gold at the end of a rainbow today!

My pot of gold has a name...Bear Cub!
