St. Patrick’s Day Fun

Posted by Cindy on March 7, 2008

St. Patrick’s Day falls on a co-op day this year, and co-op days are b-u-s-y!  We’ll have some green fun a little early this year – maybe the Saturday or Sunday before.  Here’s what I have planned for a green meal  (these ideas came from the March 1998 edition of Family Fun) :

*spinach linguini with pesto sauce

*garlic bread with a covering of chopped parsley cut in the shape of a shamrock (using a cookie cutter)

*dark green salad with cucumbers

*kiwi

*lime sherbet

We’ll also take some time a few days before or after to make these Irish treats:

*Irish Brown Bread

*Toffee Shortbread (this is not the same recipe as mine, but the picture looks the same)

I might see if the library has a few of these titles, or these, too.

Preschool Activity Bags

Posted by Cindy on March 6, 2008

Have you ever seen Preschool Activities in a Bag?  If you have preschoolers, this is a great resource!!

Several moms from co-op each chose an activity an month or so ago.  We made nine of the activity we chose then had an activity bag exchange this week.  Here’s a peek at the wonderful activities waiting for Eli when he’s just a tad older!!

Loved this!  We’ll be doing the same thing (or something similar) next year.
