Yesterday

I've been too sick to think about more than laundry and schoolwork, but yesterday at about 3:00, the kids discovered that it was St. Patrick's Day.  The took the holiday into their own hands.  No green shirts?
Washable markers substituted.

Sawyer almost couldn't believe it was permissible to draw on himself.

He took full advantage.

And McKenna whipped up a lemon cake with this frosting, and it was the best frosting we've ever had.

(Best to eat it all the first day though).

They got in a good round of pinching before any of this happened.  Sawyer couldn't believe it was permissible to pinch his siblings, and I'm still not sure he understands.  But any holiday where he's asked to draw on himself and inflict pain on others is good enough for him.
