That ELUSIVE little Leprechaun!

Happy Belated St. Patricks Day! (and of course, Christy, Happy B-Day!) We had a great St. Patricks day this year! I don't usually get much into St. Patty's day, but the boys had a great time this year. We didn't do much. We really only had a green breakfast and dressed up in Green, but we sure had fun doing it! I am a bad mom and didn't even take a picture of the boys in their cute GREEN shirts that my parents brought them back from Cancun, but what can you do! They looked cute, that's all you need to know. :) But here are a few pictures of our crazy breakfast that we had! Lincoln does NOT do well with change, so he had a hard time eating the green eggs, but he was also remembering the book that we read for the occasion- GREEN EGGS AND HAM. One of our favorites, of course! But we had Green eggs, Green pancakes, and Green JUICE! It did look kind of sketchy, but we enjoyed it just the same!
For preschool, we had a hunt for a leprechaun, an that elusive little bugger got away from us again! But we sure got his gold! That crazy guy left it on top of the roof! So funny! Poor little Calvin- sweet little guy- was absolutely TERRIFIED of the idea that we were going to go on a leprechaun hunt! He was so scared, and didn't think that it was such a great idea that we were looking for one. He would have rathered just leave him be, and actually forget him altogether. But as soon as we found his little bucket of gold, he was pretty pumped! So that worked out alright! Sweet little boy! My child was talking about catching him, and then poking him with a stick, but sweet little Calvin just wanted to leave him be, and let him have his gold! He worked for it after all! I LOVE teaching preschool! It is so much fun. It's lots of work, but it is totally so much fun! The kids love it, and so do I! It gives me a great sense of accomplishment. So here's to working mothers! (I can hardly call myself a working mother, but whatever. Props to those that really do work away from home, or at home for lots of hours.)
Anyways, back on the subject at hand, we had a great St. Patrick's Day! We should probably do a little bit of research on why we actually celebrate St. Patrick's day, but we enjoyed it nonetheless!

Payton-saying CHEESE! What a ham. THIS kid LOVES to eat!

Lincoln was a little bit sad that the eggs were green. He actually has a tear rolling down his little cheek! Poor little picked on dude with green eggs.:)

Here's our yummy green breakfast! The boys LOVE waffles, and can certainly eat as many and/or more than Cole and I! We build 'em thick around here. :)

Payton's Celebratory cheer for breakfast! YEAH GREEN!

He finally chippered up a little bit after we gave him some jam to dip his waffles in. Silly boy!

Here is Payton again shoveling everything down his mouth as fast as he can! He SERIOUSLY is a garbage disposal! If you only knew everything that went in that kid's mouth that WASN'T supposed to be there, you would be MORTIFIED! Case in point- yesterday we were at the park and he had something in his mouth, so of course I went fishing, and lo and behold, found a BEER BOTTLE CAP! AHHHHH!!!!! That was only to add to the few boxelder bugs and couple of handfuls of sand that he had already ingested there at the park. Not to mention the extra snacks that were found underneath the picnic table that we were sitting at. NOT OURS btw! Others graciously left their goodies behind for my vacuumish little son.
