Lucky Day

This note was left this morning:

The Leprechaun's left us these treasures- and caused a bit more mischief around the house.
Like making our milk green. And everything in our lunch green- even the peanut butter!
Although I tried to tell Landon the Leprechaun left the playdough and art stuff- he kept asking me, "Did you get this at Walmart?" (and Jacks is the one arm bandit around here due to the collar bone, his right had is the good one and doesn't impair his thumb sucking as shown.)
Our St. Patty's Dinner, I strayed from the real deal a bit:

Rosemary Pork Loin and Red Potatoes from the crock pot

Green broccoli

Irish soda bread (rhoades yeast rolls of course!)

Yellow Gold! (jello jigglers)

And lime soda

The best part! IF you were lucky enough, you found a gold chocolate coin in your cake. And, it just so happened, all the kids were lucky. We all cheered when someone discovered theirs. I wonder how long my kids will enjoy this silly stuff for?

St. Patty's

The trap is set. Ropes to climb with to reach the top of the box

where a pile of gold chocolate was set.

All disguised by foilage and a trap door to drop the leprechaun into the box.

They came at night and left 4-leaf clover trails all over our first floor.
4 trails lead to small bucket of treasures- just for the kids.


The leprechaun left a note in a pot of "gold" in the trap box.
"I want the real gold.
You can't fool me.
You can't catch me."

He packed a green lunch for Tanner.
Caused some mischief and messes.
All day long we were on the hunt for things left by the "fairy" as Emma called him.

My little green eating machine
Dinner was pot roast, and green mashed potatoes, brocoli and green sprinkled sugar cookies.

No pictures of the meal- just the treasures.
