St. Patty's Day

Today my Tuesday Girls made special St. Patty's Day pins with wool felt, shamrocks and pennies from the year of their birth.

First we cleaned the pennies by soaking them in fresh squeezed orange juice and salt.  This solution is super cool; it smells good and works FAST!

Then the girls arranged their pins.

Then they wore them on their shirts OR on their new, green bunny ears I gave them!

They also made each mixed up vanilla ice-cream, peppermint extract and green food coloring to make their own Shamrock Milk Shakes!
