Leprechauns

Happy St. Patrick's Day from our Bugaboo.
I've decided that I really love St. Patrick's Day. The kids don't have any big expectations for it, so when they wake up and realize that it's a holiday and that leprechauns have turned the milk green and left candy they are just thrilled. Carter had never heard of St. Patrick's Day until John gave him a quick run down in the morning. Carter was delighted with it all and came running in to tell me "if I find a leprechaun today he will give me ALL his candy". He had it a bit confused but he was sure excited and spent the day looking for "little green guys".


Kelsie had a very eventful day in 3rd grade with leprechauns turning their class upside down and leaving green eggs and ham for them to eat. She decided she wanted to build a trap for a leprechaun and made this house that was pretty adorable. The address read "Home Magical Home" on the top and had signs and a mailbox to complete it. It inside was decorated all in green and it was really quite magical. Meanwhile Emily was outside making a leprechaun trap with her friend Lizzie. Their trap was a leprechaun restaurant. It was complete with a wood sign, crackers, and water to entice the little guy. These girls always crack us up with the things they dream up to do because they truly live in their own little magical world. But really....what better way to trap a leprechaun than a restaurant just for him? I love it.
