St. Patrick's Day

I love that our daughter still has a great imagination!

She still believes in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, and the craziest one - Leprechauns!

We had to build a Leprechaun Trap at home this year.  They have done it at school in the past, and at Gramma's house last year, but St. Patrick's Day fell on a Sunday this year, so our house it was.

Lucky Charms Box turned into "End of the Rainbow Motel"

Gramma helped make the trap too!

Me and my sweet girl

The trapped worked!  he jumped inside, but was able to knock it over, pop open the top and escape

He left a trail of shamrock coins up to the hotel, inside the motel, and his path he took out the back door.

He left Rainbow Seeds (Skittles) and a chocolate shamrock sucker

It was so fun!  Alyssa was pretty surprised the next morning.

We decorated the dining room with shamrock confetti on the table and green shamrocks on the walls/backdoor.  We had shamrock floats for desert that night too - sprite and lime sherbet.

It's fun to be able to do special family things on holidays like that.  I hope they are things that Alyssa remembers when she gets older.
