Day 72: Shamrocks

Time change is kicking my butt. I wish that when the time changed, things started an hour later/earlier respectively.  Then, the pope was elected today.  I am not Catholic, but I find the entire process facinates me, so that took up the vast majority of our afternoon.  Thus leaving me wondering what to do.  Then, I remembered seeing something similar to this on a craft blog somewhere.  I had to make it a little more simplistic because of the girls ages, but they turned out very cute.

I folded our last two pieces of green construction paper and cut 8 hearts out of it.  Then, I gave the girls 4 hearts each.  We put a circle of glue in the center of a piece of construction paper, stuck a "stem" on it and then put the hearts in a shamrock pattern around the circle.  the trick was to not glue the entire shamrock down, only the center most points, that way it popped out a little and looks more like a 4 leaf clover.
