St. Patricks Day Fun

 This year me and the boys decided it would be fun to make a Leprechaun trap to see if we could catch the silly little Leprechaun that comes every year to leave us treats. Cody was very hopeful that we would trap him and we could keep him as a pet. We tried our best to bait him in with lucky charms, rainbows, fake gold and shamrocks.


This morning we found all the Lucky Charms eaten, and no Leprechaun, oh man or dang it as Jake would say. We didn't catch that sneaky Leprechaun but he did leave us a shamrock treasure hunt to go on....


The treasure hunt was fun and he left the boys some bags of gold treats!
While Jake was napping i had a graphing activity for Cody. He graphed the rainbow of colors in a package of Skittles! 


He loved it....can ya tell?


After dinner we had our small group meeting at our church and i made this fun fruit rainbow to take as a treat. It was a big hit!


We had a fun St. Patty's day this year and we are looking forward to a beautiful weekend and a fun trip.....I'm sure you'll hear about that soon;)

You are such a fun mom! I was proud of myself for buying green cookies at the store. That was the extent of our St. Patty's day creativity. (Oh, and I told the kids that the sneaky leprechaun must have been the one that messed up our dirty house - even though it was just as messy the day before)
Fun! I love your fruit rainbow too.
Where are you going on your trip?
