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.
