Shamrock Treasure Hunt FHE

With St. Patrick's Day coming this Saturday I thought we would do a little FHE on treasure.  So tonite for FHE we talked about 'Treasure in Heaven'.  We read and discussed Matthew 6:19-21.  I explained to the kids about different kinds of treasure, the treasure that stays here on earth and what treasure we can take with us to heaven.  They seemed to really grasp what I was getting at...especially when Owen said that Taytam was our treasure in heaven.  It just melts my heart.  How cute is that?!  Sometimes he can be so sweet...other times?  Well, anyway...it was a cute moment with Owen. :)

After the lesson, we did a Shamrock Treasure Hunt.  I had written the clues on paper shamrocks & the kids loved reading the clues then running all over the house to find the next one.  Reese was just happy to tag along.  The final clue took them to the deep, dark coat closet...they were excited to find a green glow coming from the back of the closet.  They each had a little green basket with a green glow stick, St. Patrick's Day shirt, leprechaun antennae & a handful of treats.  They were so excited!
