st. patrick's day

other than trying to remember to wear green on st. patty's day,

i have never celebrated it

for some reason our kids are waaay in to it this year

i guess the schools around here go all out

in hazel's classroom a naughty leprechaun left green paint on the toilet

and noah's teacher suggested building a leprechaun trap

so when we let them pick dessert from a provo bakery the other day

they all chose shamrock cookies

then on friday noah didn't have school so we spent the morning decorating the box we would use to 

trap our leprechaun

last night we set the trap

using pretend money and gold coins

as well as marshmallows

 when i asked noah what he would do with a leprechaun if he caught one, 

he said "i would study it and then let it go" 

sounds like a little scientist

 sadly, he couldn't stick around

and he got out of our trap

but he left the kids a nice note and his favorite cereal

noah was a little skeptical that the leprechaun could buy cereal at the store

he thinks i did that...

happy st. patrick's day!
