A St. Patrick's Day Celebration

The kids made a leprechaun trap. They wanted to catch the pesky, little guy who always turns our milk green on St. Patricks Day.
They didn't catch the tricky fellow. But, he left some treats and a note. (Click on picture to read note)

A better view of the trap. It was a climbing wall with a trap door on top under the "treasure" bait.

Our green milk for breakfast--that tricky leprechaun. We'll get him next year!


We had corned beef and cabbage, Irish Soda Bread with green butter, green jello and lime-ade for dinner. Yummy!


Dessert was also green. Mint Chip ice cream and sugar cookies




The "Pot O' Gold" at the end of my rainbow.

That tricky little guy always turns our milk to green too. Loved the festive dinner you made. Cute green shirts on the kiddos.
