Lucky little leprechaun

Happy ST. Patricks day! We copied and idea from my cousin Kristin to set a trap to catch a leprechaun. When I told the kids what we were going to do they wre totally into it. Addie was a little freaked out at what a leprechan was so I told her they were nice little magical people that we wanted to catch because they would grant us wishes! We made our trap and found the shiniest pennies to put in since they like shiny things. This morning they came down to our house in shambles. Chairs were turned upside down and in the sink. We found Mixie the fish on the stove to be cooked. We found green pee in the toilet where they apparently had to take care of some business and a little note in the trap that said - hahaha you can't catch me! The girls were all to excited and wondered if they would see them today but I assured them that when the sun comes out thet travel home to Greenland to sleep! I attempted to make green shamrock pancakes but was informed by Addie that they looked more like a duck so we had green duck pancakes apparently! Have a lucky day everyone. Also Happy Birthday to our favorite little Jackson! He turns 3 today and we wish we could celebrate with you!

All I could get the boys to eat were the hashbrown because apparently green eggs and milk are "discusting!" I tried to tell them they were only colored, but no go. Needless to say I didn't make a green lunch like planned and am not even going to think about wasting dinner too. I like the leprechaun idea though. I will have to use it next year and forgo the colored food.; March 17, 2009 at 4:16 PM
