Every year on St. Patty's Day a funny leprechaun comes to our house and plays tricks on our family. (Thanks to my friend Jen for this idea!) This year he put backpacks in the oven, shoes in the dryer, colored our milk green, put moustaches on the kids, and wrote "Luck of the Irish" on the bathroom mirror. After a breakfast of green pancakes and milk (which Finley would not eat and only howled at the top of her lungs about) we were off to preschool. On the way Finley saw the city workers out working on a manhole which they had spray painted green arrows all around. She asked what they were doing and I told her "the leprechauns go back to Ireland through that hole." After school I was trying to take a picture with all 3 kids and of course could not get them to all look at the same time so I yelled "There's a leprechaun behind me!" Looking at the picture that was not one of my brightest ideas. Then the kids headed down to the basement for a movie and "surprise" we had blown a fuse. The lights and T.V. would not turn on. Peyton's eyes bulged out of his head and Finley began to cry. Our funny little leprechaun was not so funny anymore. Hopefully I have not ruined my kids and caused nightmares! Needless to say we enjoyed St. Patty's Day!

I love that! It's fun to see them get all excited (or scared in your case.) I love Finn's hair by the way. Too bad it had to happen the way that it did.
Oh poor Finley! Hilarious!
What fun memories you are making for the kids!
ha-ha, oh, that is awesome. Luke came home and asked why the Leprechaun doesn't come to our house and told me all about how Peyton had green breakfast! I wish I were more on top of things! :) Super cute
Sounds like a fun & crazy day. Love the leprechaun stories. Our leprechaun was "nice" all day long;)
