St. Patricks Day this year was so much fun. The night before Eleanor and Amelia decorated their
leprechaun trap. After words Eleanor and John set up the trap. Eleanor wasn't too thrilled with the way Dad set up the trap. She wanted to hang the trap from a string attached to the ceiling and have it drop on the leprechaun when he walked under it. We couldn't find enough string so the trap was set with a ladle. Eleanor made a trail of white chocolate chips from the front door into the trap. She then put a mini candy bar inside the box. She was so excited to catch her first leprechaun and told me that she was going to make him stay down in her toy room and play with her toys all day long!
First thing in the morning she wanted to check her trap. I think she was a little nervous to lift up the trap. She didn't seem too disappointed she didn't catch a leprechaun when she saw a few gifts he left them.
Eleanor got a new mini turtle pillow pet, a shirt to wear on St. Patricks Day and some candy. Amelia also got a new shirt, candy and some bath toys. They were both pretty happy with their gifts!
Trying to get a photo of these two together is nearly impossible! This photo is so typical. Amelia loves to pester her bigger sister and loves carrying around that dumb comb!
Eleanor wanted to pose with her new pillow pet and her St. Patricks day outfit. She looks so grownup!
This little girl really is our little charmer!
I forgot to take photos, but Sara took us all out for lunch for my birthday. We had reuben sandwiches and little Henry ate his first pickle. On our way home from lunch we got to see a lady leprechaun on the side of the street. Eleanor was so excited about it we had to drive by three different times. She really wanted me to pull over and grab her so we could take her home. Overall it was a great day! It's so fun having kids and watching them get so excited or such things!
