St. Patrick's Day Festivities

Here is our special St. Patrick's Day dessert . . . a pistachio pudding pie! I painted a green shamrock on each kid's cheek just for a little added pinch protection.



Leprachaun Traps

This year for St. Patrick's Day, all the kids decided that they were going to set up traps for Leprachans. They were pretty creative in their designs. They had real money set as the bait and clever ways to trap their Leprachan, from sticky tape that would hold on to a Leprachaun to trap doors that would fall when triggered. However, despite all their imaginitive designs, the Leprachauns still managed to escape. Although, there was evidence that Leprachaun's had attempted to steal the money. Traps were tipped over and money was spread in a trail leaving each trap. Maybe we'll have better luck next year because I could really use that pot of gold!
