The Best Holiday Ever! a.k.a. St. Patty's Day!

 Happy St. Patrick's Day! I know it's a ridiculous holiday, but I love it!

Last night we were visited by some silly leprechauns who left footprints on the kids' faces! We told the kids we didn't get any footprints because we weren't wearing green at night so they pinched us instead.

 They even left surprises in their shoes!

The leprechauns were nice enough to leave some socks, sunglasses, treats, and even a little green in their shoes! When Liv told my mom they left her money - she said they left her a hundred dollars. Then when she told my dad, she told him they left her 24 cents... I love her concept of money.

After they found their glasses, we told them to go look in the mirror in the bathroom. Then they discovered that the sneaky leprechauns had peed in the toilet and forgot to flush! But don't worry - they washed their hands. Hearing Liv tell this story was hilarious. She thought it was insane that they didn't flush! Watching Adam act out this story to Matt a hundred times was even funnier. He was so worried about it that he finally just flushed it himself. haha

After the bathroom we decided to eat breakfast. Then the kids discovered that they turned the milk green! They were so nervous to use it in their cereal, but were relieved to find out it tasted the same as normal milk. :)

We finished the day by watching Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Best. Movie. Ever. We only watched the leprechauns part so that they weren't terrified by the banshee. They totally appreciated the movie as much as their Mommy does and even danced like leprechauns while they watched it! My kids are awesome! :)
