The Leprechaun is so sneaky!!

My girls experienced the little leprechaun coming to our house for the first time today. I talked to them last night about how he might come. They wondered why he had never come before & I explained that he is so small that he can't make it to everyone's house, like Santa. They went to bed & were very excited about what might happen during the night. They were so surprised when they woke up. That sneaky little leprechaun had gone into their rooms & pulled clothes out of their dressers & thrown them on the floor. He then put a "Happy St. Pats Day" sign in front of their door that blocked them from getting out of their rooms. As they walked downstairs, they noticed green paper grass all over the place. The kitchen area was crazy..stools were laying all over the floor or on the counters. Their milk turned green, too. They were excited to see that the leprechaun had left a rainbow hanging from one of the pendant lights & a "pot of gold" was at the bottom of the rainbow--actually Rolos. They had a lot of fun seeing what crazy things had happened--they are already hoping he comes again next year. We'll just have to wait & see.
I took pictures of what happened, but I used our new camera & I'm not sure what happened to them. Maybe that leprechaun did something to my camera, too. =)

One of these years the leprechaun will make it to our house too! It was one of the funnest things I did as an elementary teacher-but now it seems that I just get done w/ Christmas, Valentine's, Easter is around the corner and it's hard to remember good 'ol St. Patty's Day. Love it! You've inspired me for next year. Hope all is well!
