"Shamrocks and Shenanigans"

What a wonderful St. Patrick's Day we had! First thing this morning, Chloe rang our doorbell to get you, Landon to go check the leprechaun trap. Unfortunately, there was no leprechaun, but there was plenty of evidence that some had been there! The lucky charms were all eaten, and there were two green glittery buckets full of gold chocolate coins, shamrock beads and stickers, some cool green sunglasses and a green glow stick! We thought surely we would have caught one, but they are elusive little boogers! I think you may have been disappointed.

You and Chloe discuss how he escaped such a well-engineered trap. Conclusion: magic!

Trying on the loot

**************************

After I sent you to school with shamrock cookies in hand, Shelby and I picked you up to join Miss Suzanne and Nathan and Miss Marianna and Sante for a playday at the duck pond. Shelby was very silly in carline!

The weather was absolutely beautiful as you and your buddies romped from swings to slides and climbed on the monkey bars like wild little...well, monkeys! We brought a lunch and picnicked under the pavillion. We brought lunch for the ducks too. They enjoyed a little of our bread, but the fished really grubbed down. Across the pond, there were a whole slew of turtles, one of whom we are certain was Myrtle.

Once we were all pooped from the park we headed over to Krispy Kreme to grab a donut and hopefully get to see them being made. When we got there, a batch was just starting out on the long path the dough travels to become a donut. We decided we would defintely have to come back to see the complete process. In the meantime, we enjoyed delicious chocolate and green and white sprinkled donuts together.

You and Sante spy the sprinkle ones.

Shelby is thoroughly enjoying hers!

Oh yeah!
