Happy St. Patricks Day!

We caught a Leprechaun last night but he got away before we could see him. When a leprechaun is caught they are suppose to give the person who caught him some of his treasure. When the kids woke up this morning they found their trap filled with green and gold coins, necklaces with shamrocks on them, green candy, pens, pencils and jewels. Lexie saw that the leprechaun left his lucky hat on the ladder when he went to get the gold we left for him. The hat was the first thing Lexie wanted. The rest of the kids wanted the hat too. I told them that each year we can look and if something is left Allison will get it and then on down the line. He also left us a note on the sign we made for him. The note said (in very little writing) You can't catch me . They were a little sad that they didn't catch the leprechaun but they were very happy with the treasure that was left for them. Before the kids left for school they all got dressed in green so they would be safe from pinches at school and then had green french toast and milk for breakfast. Then we left for school in our green van filled with people in green. The school monitor helping kids from their cars thought that we looked pretty cool.

After dropping the older kids off at school, I came home and got Ethan and Madison dressed in green. We even put a green ribbon on Benji and Miah so that they would be saved from any pinches.
