St Patty's Day -- a little late

When we first started dating Tanner thought my family was weird

because we decorated for E.V.E.R.Y. holiday.

Now he enjoys that I do fun things for the kiddos (and him).

This year I didn't start thinking about it until 10 pm

the night before.

I got up early and whipped up some french toast

with shamrocks in it and some

delicious green Caramel Pancake syrup

that "looked like slime"

After the kids got home from school they found

a little note from a leprechaun named

Sneaky O'Lannigan who had left a scavenger

hunt for them. So off they went. . .

The hunt took them all over the neighborhood and I

was struggling to keep up with them.

They were so excited and I love that they still

believe in all things fairytale.

There were gold coins at each clue and the final

treat was a bag full of green treats.

Needless to say my completely restless night

of planning was a total hit, even if it did

mean I was scrambling the whole day to pull it off.

Hopefully next time I'll remember to start planning

more than a few hours in advance.
