It was more like St. Patrick's week. The Sunday before St. Patrick's Day, our town had a big St. Patrick's Day Parade. After the parade, we made James's Leprechaun Catcher for school.

We're here!

A vertebrae? Sure why not?

Perfect day to make a Leprechaun Catcher

I caught one!
Because we had a lot of stuff going on Thursday, Kevin made corned beef sandwiches on Wednesday. They were really delicious this year. Kevin and I had Guinness with them.
Toasting at dinner! I think this was James's idea.
James had a St. Patrick's Day Party at school so we all put on our green, except Miranda who doesn't have any, and we took him in.

Party set up at school.
While they had some assembly....
Leprechauns came by their classroom!
They left gold and clues how to find it...

They also trashed the room... leaving footprints...

and kicking over the classroom toys...

... and also the traps.
Rebecca, Cora, and Emma finding gold and treats!
James also had his first "friend's birthday party" that night... more on that later. Jon came over to watch some March Madness games and enjoyed one of the corned beef sandwiches.

Already excited for next year!
