The kids wanted to make a leprechaun trap the night before St. Patrick's day. So we got them a box and let them go to town. Blake made a trap by attaching a string to the door when it opened. Inside they made a fake pot of gold to entice the leprechaun. They didn't catch a leprechaun, but they didn't care, because they got a pot of gold.
It was also the jog-a-thon at school today to raise money to upgrade the school's computers. The kids all got free t-shirts at school for the run. After school Madison was playing out back with her friend Noah. I went to call her in to wash up for dinner, and this is what I found. They were rubbing their faces against the trampoline because somehow they thought it was funny. She had to do some serious scrubbing before coming in.
We have had three full weeks of visitors this month. First was Robyn, Paul and Jasmine, then Grandma and Grandpa Newbold, the next week Grant and his college friends came to stay, Uncle Kerry and Aunt Robyn came for one night and then Brittany and the girls came to stay. We had a day in between to wash towels and sheets for the next group, but it is always fun to have people come and stay.
On St. Patrick's day Grant and his friends were here. They had been at the beach all day and then decided to come back and hang with us. The kids loved having college kids in the house for a week. We had a green dinner together that night.
Abby loved her Shamrock dessert she made with me earlier in the day! She especially loved Grant's girlfriend Mandy, because every morning she would paint her nails before they left. They all tackled Grant and painted his too. They thought that was the funniest thing ever.
It wasn't hard to convince everyone to do a little doorbell ditching. All ten of us piled in our car and left pots of gold on some friend's houses. The kids love dropping of treats and running.
It was hilarious to see everyone piled in. We looked like a car of illegals trying to cross the border. Good thing we only went a couple of blocks. For any law enforcement personnel reading this...our official story is that everyone had their seat belts properly fastened.
