So, today wasn't exactly what I had planned. When you have your house up for sale, your plans tend to get compromised when you get kicked out of your house with only an hour or two notice, but we still made the best of the day!
This is our first year doing more than just dressing in green. Justin has been very obsessed with leprchauns all year for the most part. He talks about them on a weekly basis, asking if he will ever find one. Last week in school was probably his favorite because they talked about them all week and then found a pot of gold chocolates that the leprachaun had left at school. I wanted to make today a little more special for him since he loves the subject so much. So.. despite the fact that we had to skip out on eating our shamrock green pancakes this morning, the kids did have a few surprises from a leprachaun visit when they awoke:
- While they were sleeping, those silly leprachauns went into their room and stamped their hands with "Happy St. Patricks' Day!" and their cheeks with shamrocks. They didn't notice it had occurred until they looked at one another. Quite comical! Then they proceeded to the bathroom to look in the mirror and those crazy leprachauns had fingerpainted the mirror green with shamrocks. They also discovered our milk had been colored green and the toliets were all green water. Katelynn and Justin went hunting for more and thought they might have spotted some things the leprachaun put out of place, but I think they might just be using some wishful thinking on that.... :)
To soften the blow of no pancakes, we crashed Dunkin Donuts and had some yummy green frosted donuts and then enjoyed our corned beef, cabbage, and potato dinner! I wonder what fun the leprachaun will bring next year....
