Leprechaun Day!!

Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter
Lullabies, dreams, and love ever after.
Poems and songs with pipes and drums
A thousand welcomes when anyone comes.

It is the day of wearing the green!!
Yes I am proud to say I am Irish and this is the day set aside to celebrate that fact!!
I hate corned beef and cabbage, so that tradition will not be followed here, but others will for sure. Like the leprechauns usually hit our house at some point and time during the day here. They leave the munchkins little gold (chocolate) coins in little spots in the house. Some times they turn our milk green! Can you believe it? We keep our eyes open for them to see if we can catch any of them because Mom would really love to find their pot of gold!!!!

Yes, we know all the interesting true facts about St Patrick.
Not half as much fun as we have turned March 17th into over here at our house!!
The munchkins used to make little houses for the leprechauns and fairies to rest in on their travels of trickery, hoping that we would not have half as many tricks played on our family.
The munchkins started having homework and practices the night before and couldn't make them anymore. Now we just set out some painted birdhouses that they can rest in. It does cut down on finding your bed sideways or your underwear in your bookshelf. It just isn't as fun of a family moment this way. Maybe with Belle next year we can start it again :)

Hope you have a wonderful green day!!
