Late St. Patrick's Day Happenings

Caleb bent over some clover while I watered the garden today and looked for a 4 leaf clover.  I told him not to expect to find one, but low and behold, 90 seconds later he comes shouting "I FOUND A FOUR LEAF CLOVER!" 

I don't know, that fourth leave sure looks like an afterthought!  But it does have four leaves.  So we carefully folded it in a piece of wax paper and put in a book to press it.  Later on he found another just like it.

These little paper people were part of our weekend activities.  I made the girl for Annalise and Caleb made the leprachan.  It turned out that making a paper doll with no neck actually adds greater stability to its head!  There is a story behind this couple.  It just naturally flowed out as they put them together.

A:  They're like Abraham and his wife - really old and God promised them a baby!
C:  And then they both became leprechans!
A:  Yeah!

And then they ripped off ther girl's clothes and made her green clothes and a hat.

I would have saved them but they didn't survive the honeymoon.



Annalise asked me to take this picture of them with her making a heart with her hands.
