St. Patrick's Day

We kept it pretty simple around here for St. Patrick's Day.  Of course we haven been playing "Don't Eat the Leprechaun" all month. The night before the holiday, the kids laid out the best green outfits that they could find to make sure that they wouldn't be pinched!   Also, the night before St. Patrick's Day, the kids made a trap to catch a leprechaun. The kids even put in some of their toy coins to fool the leprechaun. 

 However, the leprechaun came to our house and eluded the trap the kids made for him.  Not only that, the leprechaun left a fun treasure hunt for the kids to do.

During the treasure hunt, the kids saw that the leprechaun turned the milk GREEN.  The kids loved it!

 At the end of the hunt, the kids found Lucky Charms, shamrock cookies and "golden" chocolate.  The kids noticed that they were tricked by the leprechaun when they say the "golden chocolate."

The kids also noticed that there were leprechaun footprints on the toilet!  The kids thought that was so silly. I also know for a fact that the leprechaun also turned the toilet water green, but the green didn't stick until the morning.  The leprechaun also left a message on the mirror in their bathroom for them to find.

 The kids thought that it was so silly that you get to pinch people who weren't wearing green.   Even little Lucy had a bow in her hair to make sure that she didn't get pinched (she doesn't have much green to wear). 

 The kids wanted to make sure Brandon had green on when he went to work.  Also, they wanted Grandma B. to pinch Papa since he wasn't wearing green.

 I thought about doing a big fun St. Patrick's Day meal, but instead we had frozen pizza.  It was a simple, but fun holiday.
