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!

Eric's class got hit too! He was so excited to tell me all about the little green footprints and other signs that the famous little men had been there. I need to jump on the band-wagon, I guess!
