Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's day to everyone!

We were visited by leprechauns this year! The morning started out normal, well as normal as possible I should say. Mikayla had preschool to get ready for and was quite excited because the class was going to go on a leprechaun hunt. After we were dressed in our green, I headed down stairs to start on breakfast. The girls and Brayden stayed up stairs to finish getting ready and clean up. When breakfast was ready they came down stairs and started telling me about something trivial that had happen while they were up stairs. When we turned our attention to the breakfast that had been prepared, the food was green!!


We were all shocked, Haley was full of questions and finally just decided that the leprechauns, being as quick as they are, had made it past us while we were talking, and zapped our food green. She opened the refrigerator to get the milk out and discovered 2 cups of green milk waiting for her. She was so excited, she could not stop talking about it. All day that was her conversation of choice.
Mikayla got scared and just wanted to leave. It took her a while to warm up to the idea, but she eventually did and ate the green food and drank the green milk! She liked the milk the best because it had leprechaun "poop" at the bottom, this is her story and she is stickin to it!!
Throughout the day Mikayla was leery of our home and would not go into a room by herself. She did not want to run into any leprechauns! She did get to go on her leprechaun hunt at school. They didn't find any leprechauns; however, upon their return to the classroom they discovered a mess, paper shamrocks covered the floor and chairs were on top of tables!
We know that leprechauns only come out and wander around on St. Patrick's day, so the next day Mikayla was good, except for the jokes I played on her!!

Brayden will eat anything and was just happy to be eating breakfast!

I am so glad to read this post! I have often wondered if I should "encourage" a little more leprechaun activity in our house on St. Patty's, or if it would just freak the kids out, thinking that little guys were running around the house without being seen.

But now I know - Troy would think it was hilarious and Brigg would probably be freaked out. Thanks for testing the waters for me on that one Jen! I'll just have to let the leprechauns in when Brigg isn't around...

And nice job on the home-cooked breakfast! What a good Mommy!
