Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Alexis really kicks up her heels for St. Patrick's!
Grandma Weiler made her this leprechaun costume for Halloween one year. Alexis wore it to school once
on St. Patrick's Day to be funny and clicked her heels as she went down the hall.

We have some funny traditions for St. Patrick's. We're not Irish but we have alot of fun with it! Our traditions include the littlest making an elaborate leprechaun trap to capture the wee fellow so we can find out where he has hid his gold. Did you know leprechauns like peanut butter? I didn't :)

This year, Jonny has constructed some lethal contraption with a mouse trap that will beat the tar of the poor leprechaun. Somehow, every year the little blighter gets away. He pranks at great lengths, turning the milk green and causing general havoc throughout the house.

Luckily, the leprechaun spills his gold everywhere and in the strangest places. It used to be chocolate gold coins, but the little laddy has upgraded to real gold coins. It is shameless bribery I know, but the older kids are already asking, when is St. Patrick's?
