Happy St. Patti's Day!


We woke up this morning to a huge mess. Those silly leprechauns went on a rampage through our home. Chairs were tipped, cupboards open, cereal out, pillows and blankets on the floor...among the mess we did find several clues which we followed and eventually found their hidden treasure (consisting of green taffy and green M&M's). The boys were ecstatic. Then they found the Lucky Charms on the counter and when we went to get the milk out it was green as well.
Matthew searched the house hoping to find one of the leprechauns hiding...he had no such luck. One of these years we will catch them.
The boys were wondering this morning why the leprechauns don't go to everyone's house...I told them it was because they like to visit people of Irish blood. That gave us a chance to talk a little about our Irish heritage. Today we were all proud to be a little Irish. It was a great morning!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Oh those naughty little leperchauns...looks like you guys had fun at your house. I am proud of you mom! St. Patricks is truly one of my favorite holidays, my kids even asked why they had to go to school today, thinking it was some "major/national holiday". Let's get together and play - call me:)
