St. Patrick's Day


So we ran across a white shamrock on the floor next to some water paints. "What's this?" Obviously somebody dropped it while we were out. There were paints next to it, so the boys decided that we should paint it. When they started painting it, words, pictures and lines magically began to appear! "The leprechauns must have dropped it!" So they followed the map and this is what happened:

The Leprechauns magic treasure map!


The thrill of the hunt! The map first led them to the TV.

The excitement is evident on their faces. This is Trey's "I found candy" victory face (and stance). Then the map led them to the BBQ outside and from their to the piano.

Cole showing me what he found on the piano... more candy!!!
The map then led them to the table, toothbrushes.... and finally, to the bed.

The Leprechaun's treasure left on their bed! Gum, fruit snacks, crayons, and a couple more gold chocolates. Pretty lucky find!
(They now keep talking about 'those sneaky, tricky guys' and maybe they'll leave us candy.)
