Tioronda St Patrick's Day celebration.

Tioronda celebrated its annual St patrick's Day. The children made Lucky Shamrock hats ,little pots of gold and a leprechaun munch mix.The ended the day with a parade with the children all marching to Irish music , playing their instruments and then doing a leprechaun dance.

Saoirse was so excited and wanted to join Fionn in the fun.

Playdate

Between sickness on both parts it has been a little while since we had a playdate at Oli and Lucie's house so Katie invited us over. The boys made a yoghurt cake ,measuring and mixing all by themselves and we had such beautiful weather we put the bouncer up and the kids had a marvelous time jumping around.

 After all that bouncing the kids worked up an appetite so they all sat and ate some pear.What a great day we all had. We are so very lucky to have such great friends as Katie,Oli and Lucie.

Mama's birthday

What would a birthday be without cake!!! So Fionn insisted we bake cupcakes for my birthday. He did very well helping with measuring and stirring and we had some delicious homemade chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Delicious.

Tioronda Beach Day

Fionn's school had beach day to help the children look forward to the summer time. Unfortunately the original beach day was snowed out and it had to be rescheduled. So here are some pictures of Fionn enjoying beach day.

He really enjoyed the fishing game.

                                                  Listening to the waves with the seashells.

                                         Finally they all sat down and had a picnic on the beach.

Activities.

Daddy is away on a work trip so we have to find things to do to keep busy. I took out the giraffe paddling pool and put balls in it and the kids had a lot of fun playing.

I also like to do some crafts with them. Fionn is really having fun with paints and likes to make "paw prints"( Blues clues),I cannot yet convince him that they are hand and footprints.

We used the footprints to make snowmen  like we did the previous year.

My little brother got engaged to a wonderful girl Emma , whom Fionn absolutely adores. He wanted to make "Cuncle Kieran" and Emma something really nice so we decided to use the handprints to make a card, and then Fionn used letters and stickers to decorate it with a little help from Saoirse.

Bronx Zoo

Fionn has been asking to go to the zoo for many weeks now and as the weather was quite mild we decided to go. The kids had a marvelous time seeing the all the animals especially the giraffes.

The only diasappointment for Fionn was that he did not get to see the elephants and Zebras but
they got to experience the 4D Diego and Dora adventure and ride the bug carousel, so we were all happy and exhausted by the end.

Happy Valentines day

Today was a very busy day. Fionn had a valentines day party at school and after lunch we had a party at Katie's house. The kids had a lot of fun decorating cookies , playing with play-doh and just having lots of fun with their friends.
