Leprechauns: Mischievous, Yet Generous

We came home on St. Patrick's Day to a complete meal, courtesy of the little green men. Pot of Gold Potato Soup, fruit salad with green marshmallows, four leaf clover cookies and blarney stone brownies. Kajaani and Raija found out that while the leprechauns were busy preparing our dinner they accidentally dropped their gold throughout the house. The girls were told that if they could find the gold before they came back that night to retrieve it, they could keep the jackpot. So after scarfing down their food they frantically searched the house, luckily our friends left clues for the girls to follow. When all was said and done they each ended up with 12 gold (chocolate) coins. How lucky :)



Greentastic, don't you think? Yes, that is green leprechaun milk



Cheers to my little green friends











THE HUNT IS ON.......


I found one under my pillow, and a clue too



There's one under my pillow too, see.



gold, gold, gold, it's everywhere!



The big haul--the last clue lead the girl to their "pot" of gold.

  1. What a cute idea! It makes me feel sheepish for forgetting to even dress anyone in green yesterday. I dropped something off at a neighbor's house and was wondering why everyone was dressed in green....I looked down and said, I forgot, but realized I had a green shirt on by mistake.
