Happy St. Patrick's Day

When Hunter and Savannah woke up this morning they realized they had forgotten to make and set out a trap to catch a leprechaun the night before.  They both asked if Madison and I could create one during the day.  This is what we came up....

We created the "Lucky Charms Roller Rink."  





Then we took the "Roller Rink" out to the backyard.....
We put gold coins around the "roller rink" in hopes that it would attract some leprechauns--you know how much they love to collect gold!


When the kids came home from school....
The Leprechaun ended up taking all the gold and left a note inside the "Roller Rink."  

"Hee, hee, hee!  
You can't catch me!
  You tried to trick me with the gold, so I have tricked you back....
I've hidden your gold around the yard.  
Each of you have to find 10 gold coins hidden around your yard. 
 Better luck catching me next year!"

You have the best and most creative ideas for your family! Have you ever thought of writing a little book of traditions?! You are such a great mom Brenna. I only hope I can be half the mom you are...and I would be pretty stinkin' awesome if that be the case! Miss you!
Love,
Melissa N

Ditto your first two comments - especially the idea of writing a book (or a blog - haha) about fun traditions for families. This is PRICELESS. If I could be a kid again, I choose your house!!
