Can I just say…I really dislike St. Pattys Day.
I feel like it is a newly made-up holiday.  I never celebrated it as a kid, and to me….it seems like “mess day”.
But nonetheless, my kids love it.
THANK GOODNESS Micah does the leprechaun traps with them.
This year was a doozie.

All I know is that there was a lot of gold, and a rainbow.
They thought it was a slam dunk.

And at first…it seemed that way.

But Scout quickly realized that it was just a fake chocolate leprechaun.

He left behind a cute note to Navy’s artwork…”This is beautiful. -O’Connel the Leprechaun.”

And a ton of gold and silver.

And the kids cleaned up all of the loot.

All while I cleaned up all of the stinking mess — that I personally made just a few hours before.
