“Leprechaun Day”

Last night after the kids were in bed we (the leprechauns) put out a bunch of gold chocolate coins in the hallway leading to a small pile of coins for Alex. So at 3 a.m. Connor comes into our room and Ryan woke me up saying Connor smelled like Chocolate. Come to find out his face and PJ’s were covered in chocolate. All the gold coins were gone and we thought Connor had picked them all up.



Turns out that Alex woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and saw them and gathered them all up and put them under her pillow. Being the sweet big sister that she is she put a few on Connor’s bed. Very nice of her, right? We still don’t know whether Connor woke up and started eating the ones on his bed or if they just melted all over him. It was a mess and not that funny at the time.



This morning when I was putting his sheets in the wash I had to laugh. I remembered wiping off his face and one of his eyes were almost closed shut with chocolate – okay, so it was funny after all.



It all turned out to be worth it to see how excited Alex was when she got up this morning. She couldn’t wait to tell us about the “great news” that a leprechaun had brought her gold coins and a new green outfit.



Happy Leprechaun Day! (as Alex would say)
