Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Here are my girls in their lovely green Saint Patrick Day shirts. Lia has been wearing hers non-stop since we got it and loves wearing it with her green capri pants. Emily wouldn't put hers on till the big day. She said she was "saving it for the big day" and wanted to make sure she wasn't going to get pinched.

We found a craft on the Catholic Icing blog that I happened to have all the materials for. After reading aobut St. Patrick we learned how he used a shamrock to teach the Irish the concept of the Trinity. As a clover is three leaves and one stem, the trinity is three persons in one God. The heart is for God the Father, the cross is for God the Son and the dove is for God the Holy Spirit.

Didn't they come out great!

After our craft, we walked over to the pond to visit the ducklings and hang out together as a family.

Saint Patrick of Ireland, Pray for Us!
