When we woke up in the morning on Saint Patrick's Day a couple weeks ago, we found out a leprechaun had visited us overnight and left a pot of gold!
A leprechaun visit is very exciting as a toddler but one of the saddest parts of your kids growing up is that they don't buy into the fairy tales anymore. Even though Jackson kept saying it was me that left the pot of gold, he was quite taken back when he poured a glass of milk and it was green!
He was questioning it all day because, of course, Mom could never have done that. It must be magic.
Ashleigh wanted to make sure Copper was in on the festivities too. She put one of her green t-shirts on him. He kept tripping over it as he ran back and forth playing in the house though, so Ashleigh opted for a green strip of fabric tied to his collar. I think he was much happier with that option!
I was glad to see St. Patrick's day fell on a Saturday this year and it just happened to be a weekend I had off from work! We had fun all day, especially with our meals.
Breakfast was green pancakes, oranges & kewi. For lunch, we had pot pies which ironically had peas and carrots which I found very fitting. Dinner was Irish chicken and dumplings, complete with turnips and we enjoyed pistachio pudding parfaits for dessert. Yum!
