St. Patrick's Day

My sisters came over for a visit yesterday. We love it when they come over!
The usual activities got boring pretty quickly, so we decided to do something out of the ordinary:
Building with marshmallows and toothpicks.

Look at that concentration!

 I saw this idea on The Artful Parent. I expected a lot of abstract sculpture type things (which is what I would have done) But the girls all stuck to pretty specific structures, like houses and bridges. I took a few pictures of their finished projects, but none of the pictures really turned out well.  Ryker mostly just connected his marshmallows in a really long line.
After lunch we drank some green koolaid and decorated cookies to celebrate St. Patrick's day. I love cookie decorating. Three cookies each kept the girls busy for a good hour.

Ryker just dolloped a bit of frosting in the center of his and then devoured it in about 30 seconds flat.
