We've had a really fun day today for St. Patrick's Day. We started getting ready yesterday, making a welcome banner and some green popcorn to leave out for the Leprechauns. Then today we began the day with green eggs (nothing more than glorified Eggs Florentine) and green milk (the regular milk turns green when you pour it into a "magic" cup--and by "magic" I mean "drops of green food coloring in it"). 
Setting out the snack for our guests of honor...

...and then the Leprechauns came, ate the popcorn, and left a golden treasure!!!
They even left some footprints behind. :)
Needless to say, the kids were pretty excited!

i have a friend here who the leprechaun visits too. he turns the pictures on the wall, pillows,and couch cushions upside down.
ReplyDeletehe turns the milk green! this year he left his little green footprints on mirrors, counters, and the toilet. the footprints still haven't come off the toilet.
the leprechaun doesn't visit our house. i don't think he likes "fine, fine portuguese babes." :-)
