Leprechauns!

The important things first - we get a refund this year - yay!

So Saint Patrick's Day is a little special in our house. Graham served his mission in Ireland, so we feel a little closer to this holiday than some others. I had all these grand plans about making green eggs and ham, and doing lots of fun stuff, but it all fizzled when the girls woke up in horrible moods (all three of us) and it was all I could do not to put everyone back in bed and tell them to start the day over.

For those of you who don't know, Alma is in part time Kindergarten, so they are both still at home with me on Tuesday and Thursday. Alma learned about leprechauns in class on Monday. So when she got home, we had to make a leprechaun trap - to catch one. She wanted to leave some chicken out to lure the leprechaun into the trap, but I though we should ask Daddy, because he would know more about trapping leprechauns (he lived in Ireland, remember) It turns out Daddy doesn't know too much about trapping leprechauns, I guess that isn't what he spent his time in Ireland doing - go figure. Anyway - after we spent all this time making a trap - Alma was to scared to look to see if we caught one. It is still in our living room. Maybe we didn't catch one because I would let her put any chicken in there.
Oh well, there's always the Easter bunny.
By the way Mom, if your reading this - we are planning on scouring your lawn for shamrocks when we come to visit in the summer. The girls really got into the St. Patrick's theme.
The girls and I went to a play today. Sussical the Musical. It was wonderful. It was performed by a high school from Red Deer (about an hours drive west of us) and they were really great singers and actors. The girls just sat with huge eyes for an hour and a half - spell bound. After wards they got to talk to some of the kids and they had so much fun.
Well, I guess that's all for now...back to the books for me. That would be the record keeping kind, not the fun to read kind.
