Something I'm proud of

Well where as Pride is on of my greatest qualities this could be a very long list but we'll keep it simple,

1. St.Patrick's Day: Growing up St. Patty's day was a day where if we didn't wear green in my house you'd get pinched hardcore by not only your pesky brothers but my parents where just as mean. My mom would make Green pancakes and that would be about the extent of it all.
We've started making this holiday our own and it's a lot more fun than the stress of getting pinched by your Mom. The kids now try to catch a leperchaun, we still eat green food but it is an all day event and we even eat rainbows. I'll post pictures soon of our great fun.

2. March Maddness....my brackets are in decent shape and I love watching the cougars play despite my lack of degree from said school.

3. My Sunbeam lesson today was off the hook.....or on.....it was about fish. Honestly when I read the lesson I laughed....I was supposed to teach a lesson about how we are thankful for fish, and keep the attention of 6-10 3 yr old boys....for an entire hour....but I did. I brought a ton of props, found every fish related story in the scriptures, made a fishing pole and put together some super cute fish goodie bags with swedish fish and goldfish, and I made a foam fish that the kids had a blast with. By the end of class the kids were sad to go. They paid attention and we even talked about past lessons and how this all went together. When we got home from church Will was still talking about the lesson and this guy named Joooonahb and how we was swallowed by a huge fish and how the fish threw him up on a beach and told the town to be good and they were. Close enough.

Yay! I knew you'd find a way to make your fish lesson completely awesome! You seem to find a way to do that with everything in your life! :)
