Belated St. Pat's Day

Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day. We had a good time with some crafts I found online. We decorated a green box I had with rhinestones (since leprechauns like sparkly things).


We put gold painted rocks in the box for their "gold."





Then we left the loot-filled box out to see what would happen (Jackson thought it needed a guard).

The leprechaun's left their green hand and footprints as evidence to their thievery.







In place of the "gold," the leprechaun's left chocolate coins and play dollar bills I printed online. They even played tricks on us by turning our milk green. Silly leprechauns! Jackson and Mia enjoyed their green milk and Lucky Charm's cereal for breakfast.




My little lucky charms with their painted shirts!




I wanted to do a green-themed dinner with spinach pasta and veggies, but it didn't happen this year. I think the kids enjoyed it all anyway. Thanks to Aunt Carolyn for the green milk idea (not as fun as green beer, but I suppose the kids are too young for that!)
