My cute sister Christy is so good at reaching out and making the many many miles between us not feel so far. She once again came up with a cute idea of how to celebrate St. Patricks Day together....but not. She sent out an email with the legend of St. Patrick and how the holiday came to be. Then she explained how her family always tries to catch the leprechaun and challenged us to try and trap him too and email her the pictures. I printed it out and had Kyle read it to us. Then we got out our supplies and made our trap. We had a lot of fun. And Becca kept saying "It's so excited we gonna have a leprechaun pet"
Each of the boys decorate a side and Becca did the top. We were all very excited to see if we could catch our leprechaun. Well....despite our best efforts we did not, and Becca was NOT happy about it. She just could not understand how he got away. We all thought it was hilarious which made her even more frustrated. haha.
Becca kept saying, "now I don't have a pet again" (her AND Kyle have been begging us for a dog) Once she saw what the Leprechaun left her and we told her she can try again next year she was way excited and back to her sweet happy self. (that's the nice thing about a Becca tantrum, she gets real mad, real fast, but bets over them quickly too). They all enjoyed a yummy breakfast of Lucky Charms cereal which we never buy in there rainbow bowls.
Later we delivered treats to my primary class, Becca's preschool and primary teacher and her cute little friends. I was worried she would say something about them getting the same treat the leprechaun left, so I just told her he left extras for her to share. She had a lot of fun delivering them.
Thanks Christy for the FUN idea to share our St. Patricks Day traditions together. Love you!!!
Happy St. Patricks Day!
