Fruit Rainbows

We made St. Patrick's Day fruit rainbows tonight for FHE. I loaded up on fruit at Costco on Saturday, so we had enough that we were able to make a big tray of these yesterday when all the college kids in Utah were here for dinner, AND still had enough to make these tonight for the 8 kids at home. They all helped me cut and didn't eat too much of it as we prepped.

Strawberries, clementines, bananas, kiwi, blueberries, and purple grapes! Katharine was excited) (Aww, look at that little face!)

Then we added a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the clouds, which was left over from FHE last week, and would have been eaten had I not taken steps several times to preserve it. I also kept the Rolo's hidden, so we added those on to be the gold at the end of the rainbow. Everyone say "thanks mom, we love you..."

Ready for prayer. K was being cute. She was very excited for this sweet meal. We had her say it, I helped, she started the prayer our but that was it. "Dear Heavenly Father..." 

I helped and spoke toddler language: "We are thankful for yummy strawberries and bananas, and thank you for chocolate and for ice cream..." She was really feeling gratitude for the cookies. 

So that was the FHE treat and dinner (kids had been munching since after school, so I was fine to call it good for the night.) I'm glad the rainbow fruit tray is a hit with everyone. We also had one more yogurt pie still, so everyone got a slice of that, in honor of Pi day. Then Corey had some "Minute to Win-it" games ready to go. The only one we actually did was Back Flip where we had to grab different groups of pencils... 

Corey had several other's ready to go, but we only did that one, cause just that one took us long enough to work through with everyone.

Natalie and I practiced more after we cleaned up and we both were able to do a group of 10 pencils!

Nobody got 12. Then it was already 10pm and we needed to wrap things up. The day just goes by too fast!
