St. Patrick's Day


We started a tradition a few years ago on St. Patrick's Day. A leprechaun comes to visit at night and if the boys leave "gold" in their shoes, the leprechaun will take the gold and leave them green lemon poppyseed muffins. It's pretty exciting... seriously, it's like Christmas but better b/c you're not trying to confuse anything about Jesus' birth with Santa Claus. Anyways, the kids were super pumped this year. Their ages are incredible for things like this... it's so fun! They had so many questions about leprechauns, and pots of gold, and rainbows... etc. B/c Jonathan's family has an Irish history, it's fun to really play this up.

*This may be the leprechaun who made the muffins??*





 Finished up that evening with a game of basketball! The boys have been LOVING playing. They play on the real hoop in the front b/c it lowers, but they also play on the deck a lot. Super fun!
