Pot of Gold???

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Yes, we are wearing our green today so no one will get pinched! hee hee

We started our little holiday off yesterday with a cute idea from my friend Nina. She is the best when it comes to ideas to get the kids excited about the small holidays! :) So, we made some shamrocks and taped them to the window. This will tell the Leprechaun that we are searching for the pot of gold. We made a trap for him and tried to lead him into the trap with gold coins (Chuck E Cheese coins). I told Lillian he wouldn't come until after midnight because we have to wait until it is officially the 17th of March.

We got up this morning and the first thing Lillian wanted to do was check the trap. Did it work? Almost! We found a note from the Leprechaun and he said, "Fast Fast Fast As You Can, You Can't Catch Me I Am The Leprechaun Man! Good Luck Next Year!" And we found a piece of green fabric that must have torn off of his clothes when he escaped our trap!! That tricky little man! He even left green candy for the girls and you know Lydia was excited about the candy! :) She even had one piece before breakfast!

Lillian was thrilled and was a little disappointed not to have found the Leprechaun. She wanted to hold him and keep him forever! :) I told her the little guy was fast and we will have to try again! The look on her face is priceless!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day and thanks Nina for the memories! Love you all!

Love,
