St. Patrick's Day!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Last night Claire and Oliver (well Claire really) set up a Leprechaun trap!  Legend has it that if you can catch a leprechaun and make them laugh then you get to either keep their pot of gold or make a wish.  So, we set up a trap to try to catch us a leprechaun!  Also, if you trap a leprechaun and he gets away then he will leave you some treats! Claire was ready.  I found the basket and she put the rest together.  Then she decided that money was the best "bait" to use because "Like Daddy says, everyone loves money" :)

Morning came and Claire jumped out of bed to see if we caught a leprechaun!

Oliver decided to sleep through it :)

HE WAS HERE!!  

THERE WAS A LEPRECHAUN HERE!!!!!

"Hey Mom!!  He got away but he left us some of his go....WAIT A MINUTE!!!  HE TRICKED US!!!!  This isn't real gold, this is CHOCOLATE!!!"  That is a direct quote.

The day before and the day after St. Patricks Day the weather was beautiful and the signs of spring were upon us.  So after I picked up the kids from school we changed into our play clothes and headed outside.

Claire loved riding her bike and playing hopscotch.

Oliver loved jammin in his excersaucer while takin' in the fresh air.

I just love him.

Daddy even got home in time to join us.

My boys.

Let's hope this weather is the beginning of a new trend and the snow is gone until next year!!!
