Leprechauns on the Loose

I don't know why we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but it sure is fun!

Hyrum and I baked some yummy green clovers. He loves to help in the kitchen and this was a perfect project for him. THANK YOU Pillsbury!



After a dinner of green ravioli we were visited by an actual leprechaun who left us a potion that turns green, and teeny tiny footprints leading to a special surprise...









He was in such a hurry to leave he dropped a bag of delicious gold. (I'm glad we still had some from Christmas... shhh.)

It was hilarious to watch Hyrum try to catch the Leprechaun. He's in such a fun, magical age.


Happy St. Patty's!

What a cute idea! You are such a fun mom. I showed Paul this and we had a good laugh over the tiny leprechaun feet. I told him when we Jack is Hyrum's age I will try to be this creative! I guess I'll be calling you before every holiday to figure out what I'm supposed to do!

You are so cute and creative! I can't wait until Kaitlyn gets a little older so she can actually understand holiidays.

That leprechaun is the cutest one I have ever seen! Where did you find it? That is such a fun way to celebrate the holiday that is pointless:] You are such a good mom! Hope all is well in the trump house!

I got the idea from one of my Elementary teachers. She did something very similar and I remember it was so magical!
