Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We had a special visitor in the middle of the night. Taylor woke up this morning to tell me that there were green footprints all over the bathroom mirror. She was very intrigued.  We quickly realized that a little leprechaun, named Lucky paid us a visit and left his footprints, a note, some chocolate, and a dog bone behind for a St. Patrick’s Day treat. Taylor was so incredibly excited and couldn’t wait to go get her brothers up so she could show them. She also had to call my mom to tell her about it and warn her to check her own bathroom.

My three leprechauns were excited to wear green outfits today, and I have to say; they looked pretty cute. The boys ran around the house chanting “green!” I guess they were in the spirit of the day. Either that, or they were enjoying being just like their big sister.  Taylor did fun projects at school involving St. Patrick’s Day including “Pot of Gold Graphing” and she made a hat with a shamrock (which the boys immediately tried to destroy when they saw her with it on).

After the boys took a too short nap, we went to pick Taylor up from school.  They were being so fresh and not listening at all when I was trying to get them into the car. They were running into the back yard, trying to rip the electrical wires off the side of the house, and throwing rocks. I clipped them into their car seats and told them how I was not happy with the way they were acting and that they needed to be better listeners or they would find themselves spending a lot of time in time-out. They could not even see each other since I was sitting in the seat between them, but they did a “twin thing” and both put their fingers in their ears simultaneously and began saying “la la la la la la” out loud, as I was talking. Let me tell you how hard it was to not crack up as they were doing it. They are so darn fresh!
