St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!

For me, one of the big perks of being a parent are the little things we get to do to make holidays exciting. :) Just like last year, we decided to try and catch a leprechaun this year. Katelee, with a little help, devised a trap.

Here's how it works:
The piano bench lid is propped up with a wooden spoon, and laying on the wooden spoon is Katelee's golden glove. Leprechauns cannot resist anything thing gold, so when a leprechaun sees the shiny gold, he'll jump in the bench and try to take the glove. But when that wooden spoon is bumped, it will move and the whole lid will come crashing down - trapping the leprechaun! Unfortunately, we did NOT catch the leprechaun again this year. So, no pot of gold for us!

However, the leprechaun did leave us with a few green snacks:And LOTS of tricks. This year that tricky leprechaun:

• turned our kitchen table upside down!
• dyed the milk green!
• painted one of Katelee's fingernails green in the night! (And one of mom's fingernails, and one of dad's toenails - ha ha ha!)
• dyed the toilet water green
  
• turned one of our paintings upside down!
  

• And when Katelee went to pour her usual cereal for breakfast, she was ecstatic when Lucky Charms came out of the box!

Oh, fun! Here's a picture of Katelee's 3-leaf clover hair that we did, as well. :) We found the tutorial for it here.Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!
