The leprechauns came to our house, but we missed them again. The kids put together a leprechaun trap. They decorated a popcorn tin with green crepe paper and put shiny gold stuff (pennies, ribbon, etc) in the bottom. Josh even added a gold pencil. They kids hoped that they would be able to trap it this year.
But, instead we woke up to a mess and no leprechaun in site. He left a note instead. He had thrown all our couch cushions on the floor, tinted the milk green, tinted the toilet water green, and left Lucky Charm cereal and Irish Spring soap for us on the table. He said that he was caught in the trap for a little bit, but thanks to the pencil he was able to climb out.
That made the boys real sad. Tyson actually got mad at Josh. Tyson then tore the trap apart (that is why there is no picture of it). Hmmm, I wonder where he gets his short temper from?
Anyway, we had a nice breakfast of green milk, fruit salad, and Lucky Charm cereal. I packed a lunch for the kids with green stuff in it. For dinner we had green noodles, broccoli, cucumbers, fruit salad, and pistachio pudding. What a fun day it was for us. Jaydee sometimes asks me why I go to such lengths for the holidays. My reply is: I don't think it is great lengths but rather fun memories for our children. Plus I enjoy it.

Green food? What fun. I agree, make all the memories you can with your family..they grow up too soon. No matter where they go, they can always take those memories with them.
I think it is great that you go all our for the holidays...some of the best memories I have of being a kid for sure.
