St Paddy's

Need to blog about St Patrick's Day before Easter is here. Spring Break starts today. I am excited for not packing lunches, not waking up early, no homework, no worries and hopefully the sunshine will make an appearance also.

We woke up to finding our leprechaun Paddy making a visit the night before. This is what we found when we woke up.

It's hard to tell but Lilly has a handful of chocolate gold coins. Paddy left a pathway from our Leprechaun Trap you can read about Madison's story  on how to catch a leprechaun, we try every year and so far are unsuccessful. 

Then he left a trail of gold coins to the bathroom, apparently he needed to go before escaped out the window.

The kids enjoyed these yummy treats left by Paddy also.

We whipped up some colorful pancakes for breakfast and then zipped off to church. Jack asked if we had to go to church today, he thought it should be a church observed holiday apparently.

On Monday, Jack came home from school with his own leprechaun gear on ( BTW leprechaun was one of his spelling bonus words for the week--good thing he taught me how to spell it). It has a cute black hat, shamrock glasses and an orange beard. Their class also missed catching the leprechaun, Jack wanted to go back to school to see if they had caught one also. The leprechauns were clever again this year, I don't know if anyone caught one.

After church, we enjoyed a scrumptious and festive green and rainbow meal at Bill & Stephanie's house.Uncle Dan was in town for the weekend, it was fun to see him and celebrate St Paddy's Day.
