St. Patrick's Day

The kid's favorite St. Patrick's Day tradition is waking up to a visit from a leprechaun. He always leaves a small pot of gold (chocolate gold coins). This year he hid it and the kids had to look for it. They were having trouble locating the hiding spot and so Brian told them to look under something. Sure enough they found the pot of gold hidden under the coffee table. Later that day Tyler came to me and asked how his dad knew where it was hidden. Was he really a leprechaun. I told him he'd have to ask his dad. The minute Brian walked in the door from work Tyler grabbed him quite seriously and said, "Dad, we need to talk!" He took him back to my room and sat Brian on the bed and then sat across from him in the rocking chair and looked him in the face and asked him if he was really a leprechaun. They also enjoyed their annual "green" breakfast. Green pancakes on green plates, with green cups!
