The Leprechauns Came Last Night!!

Well, the little Leprechauns did in fact visit our house last night! Before bed we read our two St. Patrick's Day books. One of them is a story about the Leprechauns that we bought for Laina last year. It's the cutest book and the thing we love most about it is that one of the Leprechauns is named Boo and that is our nickname for Laina so it just fits us so well! The other Leprechauns are Col and Ari and the three of them go about stirring up trouble on their way to hide the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We've been telling Laina that after we all go to sleep, the Leprechauns will come to the house and leave presents for us in the morning -- and they did! The first chocolate gold coin was left on the headboard of her bed and so when she woke up and went to turn her bedroom light on she found it and she was so revved up -- "MOMMY! The Leprechauns Came!" She then asked if we could go outside and find the Leprechauns under the trees (where she sees them in our Leprechaun book). I had to explain that it was "Leprechaun Law" that we cannot see them!!! She headed downstairs to find the rest of her stash and had a great time! It was so cute. The Leprechauns came last year too but this year she just was so into it!

The hunt for gold dubloons!

Score!

Then we had our green eggs for breakfast. Once she took a bite, she spit it out even though it tastes EXACTLY the same as the eggs she always eats! Silly girl. I guess the green is a little scary looking!

After breakfast I let her eat a chocolate coin -- at 7am! A first for me!

Off to dance class - here's Laina twirling around before class begins. To me it looks like she's practicing her Irish Step Dance!

And back at home wearing her "Everyone Loves an Irish Girl" t-shirt!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We had a wonderful day - hope you did too!
