The Luck of the Irish!
Our own little Leprechaun! Avery was quite excited at school today when he found out Leprechauns had been in his classroom! Toys all over and little green handprints were the proof! He even came home with some GOLD he found at recess! I got in the mood by putting a corned beef in the crock pot this morning...... it sure is great to have dinner done by 8:00am. If I had been smart I would have whipped out a box of Lucky Charms instead of making eggs this morning.
A few years ago Aubrey was quizzing me on St. Pats day and what it was, etc.......she asked if we knew anyone that was Irish. I told her that her Uncle Chris (my sisters husband) was Irish and that they REALLY celebrated the holiday with a lot of family traditions. She paused thinking for a minute and then responded with her finger pointed in the air "I thought he looked like a Leprechaun"! It must be his redish brown hair, rosy cheeks and occasional facial hair that tipped her off...........
I laughed pretty hard....good thing my bro in law is a good sport!

When I grow up.......
This is a conversation between two 5 year olds (one of them being mine) that our Primary Pres., while working in the school library overheard yesterday........
Friend- "Avery what do you want to be when you grow up??"
Avery- " I am going to be a missionary."
Friend- " a what?"
Avery - "a missionary"
Friend-" What the heck is a missionary?"
Avery- "It is when you go and tell people about Heavenly Father and Jesus and the Holy Ghost. Then, you give them a Book of
Mormon."
Friend- (pause) "I think I am just going to be a police man."
Great job Avery! You always worry when someone comes to you and tells you they need to tell you something funny your child said. This time, it brought tears to my eyes!
