We had a very exciting St. Patricks Day in our home. It started out Monday night. During Family Home Evening our doorbell rang. When we went to answer it there was a treat from some Leprechauns!! It was Magic Leprechaun Powder that was white and when you added cold milk it turned GREEN! :)
After that, Kelsi was convinced that this was the year we would catch a Leprechaun. She made this wonderful trap with the help of her father. We put Lucky Charms leading up to it because we heard that they love those!
Inside the trap were some Lucky Charms marshmallows...how could they resist?
When the kids woke up in the morning, these little green stones were all over the house. It seems that wherever a Leprechaun went he would drop a few, as if he was leaving a trail. We didn't catch one in our trap. Somehow he got the marshmallows and ran...very sneaky! We will try again next year. He did however turn our milk and toilet water green! He also left this for us...
Delicious treats! Legend tells us that if you decorate a box and leave it out on the eve of St. Patricks Day, the Leprechauns can't resist leaving you treats. We tried it and sure enough it is true!
Happy St. Patricks Day from our family to yours!!And a big Happy Birthday to Grandpa Urvina! We love you!

What happened to your baby boy?!? He suddenly turned into a little man!
HOLY COW - who is that rolly polly Kelsi is holding? I can't wait to see her next weekend!! Sounds like you guys had fun. I totally forgot about St Patrick's Day until my kids were at school. What a bad mom!
That was actually left by me - Valerie
How fun? TC told me that Kelsi got a pot of gold from the leprechauns a couple of years ago. I guess he was right. Maybe, we will leave a box out next year.
Lucky kids!! And check out those cheeks...
So cute!
What a fun family! I didn't even know it was St. Patrick's Day until the end of it. Your family is so cute!
What cute kids!! Looks like you guys had so much fun! :)
Oh my fat baby, it must be all the chocolate!!! Maybe you should start her on the wii fit. Okay I am totally joking, she is so way cute. I want to hold her now, I can't wait until the summer, she will be too old.
What a cute idea. Looks like you had a fun holiday!
