St. Patties day happenings...

We had lots of fun for St. Patties.

- We set a trap to catch a leprechaun, the night before. A green bed and some water in a green glass, were what was supposed to lure him in :)


In the morning they woke up and the trap was set and the leprechaun was naughty and had tipped over a bunch of chairs and couch cushions. Oh, and turned the toilet water green (which was Layton's very favorite part:)



As we cleaned up the chairs the boys kept finding gold coins that must have fallen out of the leprechaun's pockets!!!





Then we ate green- 4 leaf clover pancakes w/ green yummy syrup for breakfast...


We went to the Library for story time, they did a little craft and each got a green balloon.

Our dinner: corned beef and cabbage(which was actually pretty good), with homemade guacamole and lime chips, (we would have had green grapes but Duanes only had purple, and grapes sounded sooo good:) and of course green kool-aid to drink.


To finish it off we had green ice cream cones for dessert


We had a really fun day and didn't even do all the things I had planned (green clover shaped sugar cookies, a little craft, and a leprechaun puzzle) but it was a full day without those things.
I almost didn't do anything and only did these after my cousin Candace was about to outdo me with her mothering skills :)
I'm really glad I did, the boys really loved St Patricks day!!!
