Rainbow Bread

So I went to get my kids ready for school (which thanks to Mr. Day Light Savings Time it has been rough to say the least) and my second son asked "Mom, why are you talking to us in a grumpy voice?"  Yep. That was the wake up call I needed to realize that my kids have been getting the short end of the stick. While I have been working on my "project" night and day, they have been getting the "leftover" me. The tired, and yes, grumpy me. So I decided to make  a surprise while the 2 oldest were at school. I made rainbow bread!

My boys are OBSESSED with St. Patrick's Day. I don't get it to be honest. But they love it. I haven't decorated. I didn't make them a green breakfast, I didn't even wear green today. So they were happy to come home and get a St. Patty's Day surprise from me :) I separated the dough into 6 balls. The my 4 year old an I worked the food coloring into it by squishing it. It took awhile but it was like playing with clay so it entertained him the whole time. Then I rolled each color flat and stacked them up. The I rolled it up so it looked like a loaf of bread and stuck it in the bread pan to rise again.

See, I told you. Obsessed. This is how they went to school! They hate posing for things like this by the way. They are always like "Mom, why can't we just eat it???"
Well, I didn't get much done today besides this. But I am also not speaking in a grumpy voice either :)

    What a clever idea! When we were young and my mom would furrow her brow and wrinkle up her eyebrows we'd ask why her "mean things" were on.

    I love that! So clever. Wish I would have thought of it! I've seen it done with cupcakes, but never thought to do it with bread! Nice.

    love it love it love it....I will definitely have to make this for my class (I teach kindergarten). They love St. Patrick's day too, but it is totally because I hype it up for them...probably what happened to your boys! We get a visit from a tricky leprechaun and go on a hunt for him. It is a blast every year. I will have to add this to next year's treats.
