For some reason this year I was really excited for St. Patrick's Day to come. I bought the girls a book about Leprechauns to get them excited with me. The night before the big day we set a trap to try and catch a leprechaun so we could get all of his gold.
The girls went to bed and when they woke up there were gold, chocolate coins from their bedroom down to the pot the leprechaun had left with gold candy in it. He also left the girls some hats and green rings which lit up. McKell and Alyssa were so excited when they woke up, they couldn't believe the leprechaun would leave stuff for them even though they didn't catch him.
For breakfast we had green eggs, green (blueberry) muffins, and green apple juice. Again, the girls loved that it was all green, they are easy to please.
A group of our friends got together at lunchtime for a party with all the kids, it is spring break here. It was lots of fun and we had lots of good food. Oriental Chicken salad, guacamole and chips, green Sprite, green jello jigglers, green fruit salad, yummy beer bread, mud pie, sugar cookies for the kids to decorate and sandwitches, chips, and gogurt for the kiddies. I will post pictures later when I get them from my friend. We had such a fun day filled with lots of green! Happy (LATE) St. Patrick's Day!!

It's funny we have that same rug.
