Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Cole had to go around and find green clothes for everyone as soon as we got up. (I was a little concerned about what Emily and Addy had to wear, but thankfully we found clothes without a problem!) Here is our green team:
I'm not sure I'm going to like Cole going to school. He comes home so excited about every holiday, even the little ones like St. Patrick's Day. So then I have to figure out how to make it live up to his expectations! This morning we couldn't leave the house until we had set traps for the leprechaun, and there was no talking him out of his trap idea (which was to string tape up all through the house so the leprechauns would get stuck!). I did finally manage to convince him that tape in front of the doors was sufficient (although he did ask about the leprechaun coming through the window.)
Of course, when he got home from preschool, the leprechaun had managed to sneak in. Cole told me that we caught him on our tape trap, but that he managed to escape. He left a lot of damage in his wake, along with some gold coins.

Cole in his leprechaun hat that he made at school, along with some gold coins that the leprechaun left at our house.While he was at our house, the leprechaun unmade the beds,
Spilled the toys, (I'm wondering if this one comes back to haunt me when they start telling me the leprechaun made the mess, and it's not St. Patrick's Day!)
Spilled green frosting in the kitchen,
and turned their lunch green! (Which they would then not eat!)
Thankfully, he made up for it by leaving some of his treasure scattered throughout our house.
Hope you had a great, green St. Patrick's Day too!
