Occasionally General Mills sends me boxes of cereal and fun stuff. They sent me a bunch of fun boxes of Lucky Charms for Saint Patrick’s Day and National Cereal Day. Opinions are 100% my own.

I spent some time playing with Instagram stories today to show everyone the fun Lucky Charms cereals that were sent to me by General Mills. It was fun! In the past couple months I was sent Lucky Charms that have a special Leprechaun trap that you can make from the box. This box only has light green and dark green clover marshmallows.

I also got the brand new Lucky Charms that have the new permanent marshmallow shape. the new shape is a Unicorn and it is pretty cool.

I got the idea to make a Lucky Charms brownie. I mixed the Lucky Charms with melted marshmallow and put that on the bottom of a glass pan. I then poured brownie mix on top of it. It did not come out as I expected. The next time I do something like this I will make the brownies first and then put the Lucky Charms mixture on top. The kids and Allison humored me and tried it.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day 2017

Our Little Leprechaun
Photo-A-Day #4357

Today was a really enjoyable Saint Patrick’s Day. It started with the kids getting up to find the Leprechaun came to the house and left a few things in disarray. They were delighted to see the shenanigans that the little imp got up to.

The delight continued when I dropped Andrew off at school. Apparently, the leprechaun messed up a bunch of things in his classroom. The kids were all excited when they went into the room going from place to place looking at the chaos.

When I picked up Andrew he had on a Leprechaun hat and beard. He was all excited and had to show me what he did during class. He was asked what he would do with a pot of gold. Andrew would buy a barn full of animals. He did a really nice job drawing a cow, a pot of gold, a pig and some chickens.

We came home and had lunch. The kids went off to their physicals and I rested.

Well, I didn’t exactly rest. I played some Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild. This is a great game and I finally solved a difficult puzzle. I’d been working on it for a couple of days and finally got it done. Finding solutions to these puzzles is really fun. I love puzzles and figuring things out. This is a big challenge to play through this game and complete it. I love figuring it out and finding new places.

We had traditional boiled dinner and Irish soda bread for dinner. I enjoy this meal so much but only have it once every year. We have plenty left over for corned beef hash, which is another favorite of mine.
