Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hope all of you had a fun St. Patrick's day. We didn't do anything fun with the food (turning it green) this year, but we had a blast making tons of banana bread. The girls love to cook, so we had a fun day of doing activities that they really like. My mom has a special surprise for the family. The night before St. Patrick's Day, we all drop off one shoe each. She lines them up and in the morning, "oh my goodness" the Leprachaun comes and leaving goodies in our shoes. I took the girls over that morning and we followed the confetti (glittler of leprachauns and shamrocks) and found our shoes filled with all sourts of chocolate and chocolate coins. Emma was so excited. She couldn't remember how to say "Leprachaun" so she would call him the "little boy." Every day for a week, she would come into our room and ask if the "little boy" was there yet. It was a long weekend for her, but she had so much fun with the surprise. Ellie just wanted the candy. LOL. Thanks mom for sharing this experience with the girls. They then made crafts-Leprachaun men, for my family. Pictures to come later. Hope you all wore green so there wasn't any pinching. =0)
