We cleaned the house hoping that the naughty leprechauns would leave us alone, but they DIDN'T!! The floor was covered in FAKE gold and green candy, and other green treats.
treats on the candles
new green shirts thrown everywhere
They left behind some tracks...
...in some very strange places...
...but much to everyone's disappointment we never found them. You see, Thomas was sure that someone must have caught a Leprechaun and stole their gold in order for us to be able to afford to go to Disneyland, and he really wanted to catch another one so that he could have more gold than anyone when we go.
The boys tried so hard to catch one, the devised traps (Michael took his to school for an assignment) Thomas drew up plans, but decided to try to just catch one himself. The were awake that morning at 4:15...I heard them out in the front room first excited that there was gold everywhere...then disgusted that it was FAKE!!! Darn those tricky Leprechauns.
After much coaxing and back rubbing, the boys finally fell back asleep and we tried starting the morning again at around 8:00. I think I'm going to leave a note for the Leprechauns next year that these boys need their sleep and so they'll have to wait until the boys are gone to school to visit!
The food is always fun for St. Patrick's day too...
For Breakfast we had green pancakes, and green juice,
and for Dinner, we had Cabbage Casserole, and the ever popular,
RAINBOW JELLO...quickly becoming a St. Patrick's day tradition
Robert liked it :)
And just for a little nostalgia...here he is enjoying his last year's St. Patrick's day dinner :)
The best part of the day was having fun with these three crazy boys!!
Never give up boys....we'll catch those Leprechauns one day!!!
