Happy Saint Patrick’s Day 2015

The Mischievous Leprechaun
Photo-A-Day #3630

A silly Leprechaun came bounding through our house leaving green footprints everywhere and also turning our Milk, Orange Juice and toilets green. The kids enjoy the fun antics of the leprechaun and they also loved getting some tasty Honey Dew Donuts to munch on that morning. Eva was excited to see if her Leprechaun trap at school captured one. Sadly it did not but the kids were excited to see what the leprechaun did to their traps. Eva was not amused that he stepped on her tiny table.

While the kids were enjoying the Leprechaun at school I took Andrew out to run errands and since he was pretty good overall we went for a special trip to Chuck E. Cheese’s For $10 we had about an hours worth of fun and we came home with Andrew winning a couple of small items from all his tickets.

Day at Chuck E Cheese's

It was a fun time with Andrew. He loved playing with the games.

We did not have our traditional corned beef and cabbage today, we are having friends over on Thursday and then we will enjoy that meal.

We celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day in our usual way with a fresh made Irish Soda Bread and Corned Beef and Cabbage. This year we had our friends over for dinner. Eva and I made placemats for everyone, with help from Allison’s cutting skills. We also made a Leprechaun Trap. For a snack we put together some Lucky Chick Mix. This is a combination of a bunch of snacks. The combination is made up of M&Ms, Peanuts, Honey Roasted Sesame Seed Sticks, Teddy Grahams, Pretzels and Lucky Charms. Take all of it and melt in some candy chips to put everything together.

Here’s the video that inspired our snack mix.

We had a great evening and so much fun together.
