St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's day is a holiday that usually gets over looked or even forgotten about....NOT IN THIS HOUSE! this is one of our favorite fun holidays. we start preparing the night before by making our Leprechaun "trapping device" (as Blaine calls it). Blaine spends lots of time planning out his trap, drawing plans and everything. This year it was an "Outdoor Indoor Trap." Blaine wanted our trap to look like outside, so he would want to go right in...the sign says "Come in if you want the Gold!" then Blaine lined the bottom of the box with really stick tape, so once the leprechaun stepped on it, he would be stuck!
St. Patrick's Day morning started with the perfect St. Patty's breakfast! Green eggs, green bagels (thanks to my friend Nicole) and of course lucky charms.then when Blaine was at school and mom was at school helping, that sneaky leprechaun came to our house!unfortunately the leprechaun out smarted us....and even played a trick of his own on us. he trapped some of Blaine's toys on the tape instead of letting himself get trapped!but it was all ok because he still left us some yummy treats! Blaine said next year we really have to make an even better trap and maybe we might even need the help of Grandpa California! haha!

But the frosting on the cake (literally) was making these super cute and fun rainbow cupcakes! they were very time consuming..but totally worth it!

YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Do you want to know what the Leprechauns did in our house? Left green pee in the toilet! (rude) (lol)

The girls think it's hilarious, of course.
