St. P's Day.

We LOVE holidays around here.

anything to break up the monotony of everyday.

i love finding reasons to celebrate!

for this specific holiday, i am SOOOO thankful I have kid(s).

i have been waiting for jax to be old enough to appreciate a leprechaun treasure hunt.

He LOVED every second of it!

(i plan to do this every year until he calls me out on it, like my little brother did when i did it with him. sob, sob)

so here's what i did:

i wrote a poem made of clues (acting like who wrote it was a leprechaun named pat)

i put them on ten different clue cards and taped them around the house, one leading to the other,

until finally it led to.......

A POT OF GOLD!

(pon-a-gold according to jax)

the leprechaun left a few different types of gold.

-chocolate coins

-plastic coins

- and REAL gold dollars!

Jax thought this was cool because he got to go to the dollar store and choose out 3 $1 toys, then pay himself.

and of course...

A GREEN DINNER!

We rented this movie,

but our VCR decided to stop working, so we didn't get to watch it.
