St. Paddy's Day!

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day all morning long today.  We started off with some rainbow finger painting, which became rainbow body painting, followed by a rainbow bath.
Is this what St. Patrick looked like?
Then we had a treasure hunt; Irish gold!
Micaiah found 1 coin and was pretty proud of himself.
Dried and finished paintings.
"The Story of St. Patrick: More Than Just Shamrocks and Leprechauns." 
My husband ordered this book a week ago and we didn't think it would arrive on time.  When the delivery guy rang my doorbell with the package in hand, I was so excited!  I was actually going to read the real story on the holiday after all!  So, during lunch I read to the boys of how St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland long ago.  It was the highlight of my day.
