Wow, we are a week behind. St. Patrick's Day was a blast. The night before we set up leprechaun traps and put shiny gold things in them. I told Gabe that if the leprechauns got trapped in them they would have to leave behind some of their treasure in order to get out. And that would make them mad so they would play extra tricks on us.

One trap we made was a treasure box propped up by a stick. When the stick moves the lid snaps shut and locks. The other trap was a trail of sticky tape leading to a coin. The leprechauns left behind a lot of treasure but turned our milk green, messed up the house and took pictures of themselves on our camera. Gabe couldn't believe it. So we had to go on a leprechaun hunt twice that day. He looked everywhere but couldn't find one. Then we went on a pic-nic at the park and the kids rode their bikes. We ended the day with a green dinner. Lots of fun!

Today we made homemade kites with the kids and tested them out at the park. Nope they didn't fly but we had fun anyways.

It's been a fun week and I am off to Florida again on Monday while Manuel holds down the fort!
