St. Patty’s Day

I’ve never really cared about St. Patrick’s Day. We have no Irish blood and we don’t drink. But all month long Eva has been pinching me for not wearing green, so when it was the actual day where she could pinch me for not wearing green, I figured we should do something to celebrate since she wasn’t in school that day. Thankfully some friends at church threw together a cute playgroup activity complete with a scavenger hunt around church leading the kids to gold (candy). Eva really got into, so at the end I said something like, “Wow, can you believe a leprechaun came and brought us gold?! Soooo cool!” And she replied,

Mom, that was just paper footprints on the ground someone put there.

Hmmmm… I guess she wasn’t fooled too easily that day. But her cousin’s lunch was turned green by a leprechaun and she of course believed that story so I think she does believe in leprechauns after all. Either way, at least Finn got to wear this cute little outfit. His name is Irish, so it was necessary that he wear a shirt with suspenders and an Irish looking (?) hat. Seriously… aren’t these kids some of the cutest you’ve ever seen???
