To the left is a photo of Sarah and Brians kiddies...Best shot of Tag with his "monster" gear. (Wally is borrowed from Ginny) Don't know if you can tell but his eyes seem to be turning green just in time for the holiday!
Sitting at the table: Abby N, Emma R., Tailynn R, Carson R, Damien R. & Ginny N. They had green eggs and ham, green butter on toast and green milk. Emma wins for the most green dye on her lips (she won by licking the butter off her toast). They read "Green Eggs and Ham" over breakfast which is the only reason Ginny gave the green food a try. Green toast was too much for her, though.
This is the leprechaun trap that Abby built. She kept asking Sarah to come look at it. She was thinking it was something they made at school. Nope, she came up with it all on her own. Note the glass of water and the raisins in a bowl to tempt the leprechaun.
That morning she ran to look inside and shouted "Mom, Mom! He broke the door!" That crafty leprechaun got away. We'll have to build a sturdier trap next year if we want to get that pot of gold. Speaking of: We watched "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" last night and Ginny has been asking to watch the green lady all day. Kids are made of stronger stuff than when I was little!
The kids woke up to golden nuggets on the ground (Werthers courtesy Grandma Sherrie), bags of golden coins and Paddy's Day tattoos and notebooks, and $5 (courtesy Grandma Betty) and they each got a pair of socks that fit Damien and were big on everyone else (courtesy ofGrandma Sherrie). Sarah told the kids that Leprechauns must think that all of our big feet are the same size... they just think of us as big not as being different sizes! They all wore their socks to school fearing the wrath of the leprechauns if they didn't. They didn't want to chance not getting anything next year!
