Two years ago we started the tradition of leaving our shoes out on the eve of March 16th so the Leprechauns will come to visit our home and leave little trinkets and treats for the kids. The kids really like celebrating St. Patty's Day and look forward to the Leprechauns coming for a visit.
This year the Leprechauns kept things simple and left a couple of green shirts in the kids shoes, along with a package of skittles and a couple of simple toys for the kids. Kaleb got a tiny fishing game. You wind it up and then hurry and try and get out as many fish before the timer goes off. Karmindy got a little Hello Kitty Figurine that can ride on a tiny skate board. The kids were thrilled with their treasures! ( I am sad because I forgot to take pictures of their treasures). However, I did snap a couple of pictures of them wearing their festive green shirts holding their Skittles Candy.
For dinner that night, we decided to mix things up and instead of having Corned Beef and Cabbage, I made Fettucine Alfredo with Broccoli, rolls, a lime jello with pears, Shamrock Shakes (sprite mixed with Lime Sherbet) and Key Lime Pie for dessert. The kids really loved our festive green food and gobbled everything up! They are truly looking forward to next year's visit!
