That Tricky Little Leprechaun...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! As most of you know, I love any opportunity to get creative and have some fun with my sweet girls. I love to see the joy on their little faces over simple surprises. I also think times like these it becomes very evident just how much I miss teaching kindergarten. It is such a fun age and I love watching how the mind expands during this one short year. Well, one day all too soon I will get back to the "Mrs. England" days. But for now, Mommy sure did have a blast preparing and watching the "little leprechaun" playing tricks in our home. The expressions on both of your faces were so funny!
These fun photos show the little green footprints he left in our house and even on our "frigger" as you called it Ailee. He even turned the milk and water green along will the icing on your cinnamon rolls. You both had a blast going on the scavenger hunt he left for you. You hunted all over the house for the hidden shamrocks to finally find your pots of gold. The cake and cupcakes below you both helped me make to surprise Daddy when he gets home from Boston. You can see the excitement on your faces when you discovered your "green" breakfast and drinks. What a fun morning! I love you girlies so very much! (Anna Grace, I had to tell you that I was actually the one doing the tricks because your best friend Whitley is terribly afraid of leprechauns and you were scared she wouldn't come over anymore if she knew one got in our house.)

I wish I would think of these clever ideas. Maybe I'll remember these when they get older.
