St. Patrick's Day

Kiddos in green with St. Patrick's cards from Grandma and GrandpaW*. Doesn't Josh look happy to be hugged/squished?

We had such a fun St. Patrick's Day here on Wednesday!

On Tuesday night, we assembled the trap. The kids made Lego stairs that led to a cereal box that had a hole cut in top (with a green rag covering it). They placed some gold and green items on top to try and lure the leprechauns in, and falling into the hole.


They escaped! And left some (yummy) gold.

They also turned our milk green, left green footprints on the tile, drew green dots on the kids' noses, and gathered the green items from their room and hid them outside.

Sneaky leprechauns!

We had some fun going green the rest of the day:

I made a fun green lunch for Adam and Grace.


We had our green dinner: spinach fettucine alfredo, green beans, and garlic bread for dinner. I forgot to put the green dye in the garlic butter... whoops!

And had rainbow cupcakes for dessert.

We had a great day! As fun as it was, Grace was so happy it was over. She was very worried about getting pinched. ;)
