The kids woke up this St. Patrick's day to a surprise visitor! We had a leprechaun visit while the kids were sleeping. 
He left notes around the house leading them on a little hunt of all the places he had been.
He led them to the plastic eggs on the dining room table. He was wondering where all the candy was!
He also enjoyed playing in the play room with all the kid's toys.
He made a mess in the kitchen,
and then told the kids to head to the real kitchen for a treat!
They both got green nail polish, chap stick, gum, fruit rollups, and juice boxes.
They also discovered that the leprechaun had left green milk in the fridge and had turned our toilet water green!
What a crazy day!
During spring break we also had a surprise shower for my friend Joanne who is having her third girl in about a month. That's Joanne and her daughter, Jill.
We had all our book club people over for lunch and to play - which I think ended up being 12 kids! The kids moved all the balls from the ball pit into the dog's cage. Crazy!
I didn't get out my camera much so I ended up with a random bunch of pictures.

We had a wonderful spring break with lots of trips to the park, playdates with friends, and projects around the house. Next week it's back to normal!

First of all- THANK YOU!! I can't tell you guys how touched I am by your thoughtfulness!
Secondly- My goodness you are such a great mom! How fun for the kids to have special visitors like leprechauns on St. Patrick's Day. I love it!!!
Looks like lots of fun- Joanne is blessed to have such a sweet friend!
Those pesky leprechauns - they used to wreak havoc in my classroom too! We lucked out this year and didn't have any messes - I think they knew the house was on the market. ;)
Happy arrival baby Jena, you have diapers waiting!
Oh my gosh! You have THE BEST ideas. I love it!
I'm glad the shower for Joanne was a surprise, and love all the pics of your leprechaun. I know the kids loved it.
It is official, you are way too creative! Martha Stewart watch out. Now if only I would think to email you before the various days and pick your brain for bright ideas... next time!
Oh my goodness, I feel like such a lame mom. You do the best things for your kids. They are lucky to have you for their mom. I think I need to take some parenting classes from my nieces. Great job on the leprechauns. Looks like they really liked it.
