The Leprechaun stikes again!

Every year, on the night before St Patrick's Day, we lay out a shoe to see if a leprechaun will leave us anything. And those rascals do!! Last year the leprechaun also messed up our house! Moved furniture, etc. This year, the leprechaun was more sneaky. Calvin had tried to leave a trap for him, so the leprechaun played a trick on the kids. He left the Lucky Charms and this note where the kids left their shoes. The inside of the note says "guess where your shoes are".


Missi found hers in the fridge.

Calvin found his in the bath tub.

Owen found his in the cupboard under the TV.

Luckily the leprechaun left these little foot prints as a trail to their shoes. So they weren't too hard to find.

And here is a picture of my leprechaun! He'll be 6 tomorrow.
I just love these pictures we took last year, so you get to see 'em again!

I also join another "Pay it Forward". I have always LOVED the concept of, instead of paying someone back, you pay it forward. I know it doesn't always work, sometimes you HAVE to pay someone back. But to continue the service/acts of kindness in that way is such a great thing!

My auntie Jeanne is starting this "Pay it Forward". (Go check out her cutie grand daughter!)

The rules are: Be one of the first three people to leave a comment on my blog saying you want to "Pay it Forward" and I will send you a handmade craft sometime in the next 365 days. (No promises, but it should be before May when the baby is due, and no, he still doesn't have a name!) And then you must post a "Pay it Forward" on your blog and promise to send a handmade craft to the first 3 people who sign up on your blog. And they send it on to 3 people and so forth. FUN huh!

Happy St Patrick's Day and make sure you let your SHAM rock! ;)
