Oh Lucky!

I feel so lucky to have two creative boys (and husband, too!) who made my birthday so much fun for me! Last week, Justin and Travis worked hard to make a leprechaun trap for Justin's kindergarten project. They even drew out plans and everything! I thought it would catch that tricky leprechaun for sure!


It's a leprechaun house. So, the leprechaun follows a trail of gold coins up the walkway and through the front door. Then he sees his friend, a decoy leprechaun, and then falls through a trick floor into the bag.



Justin came home from school Monday telling stories about how the class leprechaun, Lucky, played tricks on their class. When he got to school, his teacher was late and the whole room was messed up. A table was tipped over, the ceiling tile was popped up, all the crayons and markers and pencils were scattered around, green footprints were everywhere and there was also green toilet water. I think he liked that part the best.




Travis took me to lunch at PF Chang's and it was fabulous! We enjoyed our lunch date! Then when Justin got home from school, He and Tyler planned a party for me. We played stick the sticker on the leprechaun and built block cities. Then we did St. Patrick's Day coloring pages and activity pages. They loved helping me bake my birthday brownies. My mom and dad gave me some hilarious pajamas. I used to have that Care Bear when I was a kid. I'm including a picture so Holli and Lisa know the contest is on!



Justin decorated for my birthday dinner. He said, "Mom, I'm a genius at setting the table for your party!" He had sprinkled "Happy St. Patrick's Day!" napkins all around the table and put a holiday candle holder for a centerpiece. The boys each had a shamrock-shaped straw, too. It was definitely a party!
