St. Patrick's Day


St. Patrick's Day was a success this year at our house. We woke up to find the Leprechauns had caused quite a bit of havoc in the house. Chairs tipped over, a chair on the counter, one of Jaxon's school projects hanging from the light, the milk was dyed green, pictures turned around, etc. Jaxon was so exited! He refused to let me clean up the mess (it was driving me crazy!) until after Brian got home from work to see it. I was pretty pleased with his reaction to the Leprechauns visit. Although instant panic struck when he told me after breakfast that it was time to find the treasure the Leprechauns left somewhere in our house. Crap! No one told me they had to leave a treasure.
He informed me that you are supposed to follow the green trail to find where the treasure was hidden so Jaxon went from one green thing (Mom! Look! The plant is green!! Look! There's green on this book! Mom!!) to another. He was patient enough to wait for Brian to get home to continue the search. After dinner Jaxon went on a hunt for the treasure. He found a note from the Leprechauns with a bag of golden treats (Golden Oreo's, Golden Grahams, Golden Wafers). The note:
More searching and then the bag of gold (Rollo's) was spotted. The holiday was a hit (even without decorations) and once again Jaxon said this was the best day of his whole life.
