Joyful First Friday, St. Brigid's and A Peek at Our Week!

We've had a lovely week in our very snowy neck of the woods.  I'm looking out at the latest measurements and it's about 3 or so feet of snow, eegadd!! For a little perspective, I took a picture of Sean-Paul in front of our living room window that looks out onto the patio so you could see amount, he's exactly 36 inches!  That hump behind his head to the left is my redwood barrel planter completely submerged :))

   

Here's a few highlights of our learning and fun this week:

Enjoying snowy picture book read alouds and pastels for Art work!

And here's what we did last year for the Feast of St. Brigid, and we're doing it again today!!
