St. Patrick's Day

The St. Patrick's Day fun started Friday night, when we set a trap to catch a leprechaun. Leprechauns are sneaky little guys, and not very easy to catch, but we decided to try anyhow. They love green, so we baited the trap with green veggies on a green plate.

He must have liked the veggies, because he ate them all gone. Unfortunately, the trap did not work. He was too sneaky for that. Melanie woke up early and ran into my room to tell me that he left green foot prints. She was right, he sure did.Right around that trap, and then to a little gold and a box of lucky charms. How nice of him to repay us for all those veggies he took!

The girls weren't too sure of the cereal... and in the end, they decided to eat their typical breakfast (they never stop amazing me)

Conversation with Melanie on the way to pick up our bountiful basket:

Melanie: "I think leprechauns are sneaky little guys. They have green feet prints because green is their favorite color. Everyone know leprechauns really like green."

Me: "Green is my favorite color. Maybe I'm a leprechaun."

Melanie: (hysterical laughing) "no mother. you are so silly".

Hope everyone had a happy St. Patrick's Day.

On another note. Friday night I made this wedding cake for my sister in law's, sister in law's wedding (did you follow that?) I think it turned out nice. I'm hoping the bride thinks so too!
