Happy St. Patrick's day!

I never usually get into St. Patricks day after all I am not Irish, but this year my youngest was sure he needed to catch a leprechaun. So I tried my hardest to make sure it was a fun St. Patricks day for the boys. I made our milk green and put glitter all over the house and even put green in the toilet bowl. It was fun to see the boys reaction and then they of course had to build leprechaun houses and try to trap one (ever since preschool, my youngest wants to trap a leprechaun). 

While the boys built their houses we listened to Irish music and then also watched a video on the real St. Patrick, which was an interesting story and he wasn't even from Ireland but Britain. Huh. 

Their leprechaun houses. 

Here is the video we watched on the history of St. Patricks day in case you would like to see it:

Making our own venison sausage

This last weekend we had a friend who knows all about making ring bologna, summer sausage and hot dogs. So he came over with his equipment and showed us how to make them. We are so happy we can do this on our own every year now and not have to pay lots of money for someone else to do it. We cooked them up today and it was so good. We also shared some with friends and they loved it.

Carter helped mix the sausage.

And we enjoyed some kite flying on this beautiful weekend.
