St. Patrick's Day


The Legend of the Leprechauns:
Full of magic and trickery the leprechauns remain in their hidden world until the night before St. Patrick's Day. On that one night of the year they appear throughout the world to dance and sing and frolic. Disguising themselves as leaves and grass, and sounding like the wind and the crickets, they come and go unnoticed.
However, it is said that if a decorated treasure box is left empty under the moon, the leprechans must fill the box with gold and jewels or gifts. But then they will hide the filled box in the most of unlikely of places.
If the box is found on St. Patrick's Day, the treasure remains in our world. If not, the leprechauns may retrieve what is rightfully theirs. And though the leprchauns are very clever, it is not impossible to find the treasure because unknowingly leprechauns often leave a trail of greenery behind them.


We woke up to the leprechauns hitting our house. Walter and LeaAnn Sharp were visiting with us from San Diego as well as Max, Ian, and Van. The kids loved it.
The treasure box was full of candy, gum, gatorade, socks, glitter, mentos, money etc. The kids loved the footprints all over the kitchen. The leprechauns really destroyed our kitchen.
Then we spent the rest of the day with Casey and Jamie Ashdown going to the play Rapunzel at Hale Center Theater. We came home and I took a nap, I haven't been feeling well. Then we went out to dinner at Chiles for Capri's 3rd birthday. We went to their house after for cupcakes and Ice-cream. Then we watched the movie, In time. Pretty good movie. Anyways we had a great green St. Patrick's Day.
