Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I've got a wee bit of Irish in me...it's where I get my red hair and my temper from.  ;-)  Which gives me permission to live it up at St. Patrick's Day, right?!?!

Some naughty little leprechauns visited our house while we were sleeping Friday night!  They left their green footprints all over!

Yeah...the date is wrong on our clock.  Whoops!

I had this great idea to make it look like they went potty...but someone must have gone potty in the middle of the night and flushed it before the kids could see it in the morning!

They even left marks on the children!

When Micah first woke up, he was watching TV in the dark and hadn't seen the footprints yet.  I asked him what was on his hand and he blew it off, saying "Probably marker."  Then when we turned the lights on and he made the connection, he was totally blown away that the leprechauns had climbed on him!

Of course, this means Mom gets to spend most of the day washing green paint off of everything (It was half dish soap/half washable paint, so it should be easy peasy).  Totally worth it to see their excitement!

Liliana went on and on about how they shouldn't have done that!!  It was pretty cute!  She'll be talking about this for months.

Micah had set some leprechaun traps out, and they climbed up it...but unfortunately they didn't get caught.

Typically, I serve green food all day for St. Patrick's Day, but I'm anti-food coloring right now.  So, we're having the traditional corned beef and cabbage with Irish soda bread instead!  And since there is no way the kids will eat that....a fresh fruit rainbow that they will gladly devour! 

AND Jeremy and I get to head out to an Irish pub for drinks and music tonight!  Can't imagine a better St. Patrick's Day!

Whether you're actually Irish or just an honorary Irishman/woman for the day...hope you and yours have a fantastic day celebrating and joining in the fun!!!
