13 days and counting

Find the Hidden Shamrocks was the challenge for Friday.  They had to wait until Jeff got home from work.  They couldn't wait. 

Goody Bags and Shamrocks

Jeff and I hid the shamrocks.   Then they were off.  We gave Ella a 5 count head start.

Seth found one

Garrett found all the ones up high!  I wonder how he could do that?

Ella found one hiding in Gabby's toy basket

Seth has his shamrock laying out.  Ella is holding her stash

Mr. Silly himself.

They were allowed to trade shamrocks with anyone.  Garrett and Ella are trading.  The shamrocks had numbers on them.  Garrett realized that he didn't have any 3s so he traded Ella a number for her 3.  It was great to see the thinking, teamwork, and compromise they were using. 

Ella had her shamrock layed out in order 1-5

Then came the fun

Each bag was numbered.  If you had a 1 then you chose something from the 1 bag.  If you had two 1's then you got to choose 2 times.

Garrett earned shamrock glasses from one of his grabs in the prize bag

Each bag had 5 prizes- 4 were good prizes but 1 prize was the lucky prize

Ella traded Seth for these socks

Seth again with his silliness

The Weddine gang with Glasses

With out glasses

They truly go enjoy each other company.  What fun

Shamrock Hunt

I numbered the shamrock 25 shamrock - 5 of each number 1-5

numbered the bags 1 - 5

5 prizes in each bag

Prizes

Bag 1 - 4 small packs of gum - 1 bigger pack of gum for the LUCKY one

Bag 2 - dollars - 4 one dollar bills - 1 5 dollar bill for the LUCKY one (Ella pulled the 5 - the boys reaction was pricelss)

Bag 3 - green banana, kiwi, granny smith apple, and grapes for the LUCKY one

Bag 4 - 4 yummy treats and 1 sour for the LUCKY one

Bag 5 - green sock, green nail polish, shamrock glasses, green harmonica, green ball

So if you found 2 number 3's you got to pull from the 3 bag twice, and so one

We had a great time watching them and their reactions

Memories are priceless
