Leprechaun Hijinx

We tried to catch a leprechaun, but our trap didn't work:


The tricky little guy escaped and left a trail behind him. What type of mischief did he do at your house?:


He turned our milk GREEN!!:


Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Let's Go To The Hop

Laundry Room Remake

We all have that household chore that we HATE!! We procrastinate, put it off, do OTHER chores, enlist the help of other, etc, etc. For me it is folding laundry. I don't have a problem gathering it up, bringing it downstairs, washing it, and drying it. But when it comes to getting it all folded.........I am the queen of procrastination. So my dear husband took pity on my and tried to make the process easier for me (and he was probably tired of wrinkled shirts).

Here is the best "before" picture I have:

The hard working crew (don't worry, they were just pumpkin carving knives):

And the finished product:
I am so grateful to have a built in handyman. Thanks honey!!

Sticky Fingers

Emma and Grant are OBSESSED with St. Patricks Day and Leprechauns this year. They both wanted to go out tonight and try to catch one--until Daddy scared them!! This was the conversation at bedtime:

Grant: I don't want to sleep in my bed, leprechauns might get me.
Daddy: The house is locked, they won't get you.
Grant: They might climb up the walls and sneak in my windows.
Daddy: The windows are locked and they can't climb up the walls.
Grant: What if they climb up using their sticky fingers.
Daddy: Leprechauns don't have sticky fingers.
Grant: What if they eat a cupcake and get sticky fingers from the frosting, and THEN climb up the walls in sneak in my windows.
PAUSE, PAUSE, PAUSE
Daddy: Do you just want to sleep in our bed tonight?

(Have you ever read the story, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie?"--sound familiar)
