St. Patrick's Day 2013

This weekend we celebrated the luck of the Irish!

On Saturday we went to the parade uptown with Nannie.

We got a great spot right on the parade route and had a lot of fun cheering.

 Finn loved the floats that gave out candy.  At first he put his hand out and waited patiently, but by the 4th or 5th float, he followed the bigger kids onto the street to pickup all the goodies on the road.

The boys' favorite part was the Star Wars float.   I didn't even know Darth Vador was Irish!

 

The CMFD had a great bagpipe band and the grownups really enjoyed it.

 After the parade, we went home for an Irish Supper.

It was my first attempt at Corned Beef and Cabbage.  

 

Sully preferred the green cupcakes.

Happy St. Patrick, Sullivan and Finnegan's Day!

Masterpiece Monday

Sully created this animal in school last week.  

Despite his long tusks (made out of spoons) Sully insists he is a seal and not a walrus.

Whatever he is, the animal sure is adorable and so is his creator!

A Special Character

In February, Finnegan received the Character award for Citizenship.

His picture was on the bulletin board in the front of the school 

and a sign was outside his classroom door acknowledging the award.

We are so proud of Finn, as he truly is a good citizen.  

As his teacher said, he takes care of his friends, 

pride in his classroom and always helps others.  

Today was a special day at school.  The awardees of the Character Train had popsicles with the Principal.  Finn got a certificate, special pencil and gift certificate for a cupcake.

Great job, Finnegan - you show great character!
