Here Leprechaun, Come get your Gold

St. Patrick's day is tomorrow and we are so excited, you know why.... We are going to catch us a Leprechaun.  We found out at school that some Leprechaun's can be naughty but no worries, cause we will catch him before he can play any tricks on us.

Nana came over to help us with "Operation Pot of Gold".  First step in catching a Leprechaun is to build a trap that they just can't resist.  We made Rainbows with clouds, and glitter shamrocks to lure him in.  Mom made a rainbow ladder for him to climb up. 



Once he climbs up the ladder thinking there is gold in the box, BAM he falls to the bottom and has to wait for us to wake up in the morning to get him out. 

We had a late night and decided to let sleep in to 7 AM, Chase was 1st to wake up.  I heard him get up and make his way to the bathroom, squeal and then race to Mom and Daddy's room. 





"Mom, Mom, Mom.... wake up... there is Green footprints on our toliet and Green water,  Mom, Mom, Mom...."  By that time we were all up and headed to the bathroom to see what it was all about.  Low and behold it was right there....

So Chase and I run as fast as we can to see if we caught the Leprechaun.  When we got to the trap it was upside down on a box of Lucky Charms, with a note and more Green footprints...











The note said...

Chase & Grace,

Happy St. Patrick's day

Nice try with your Pot of Gold trap, better luck next year.  I will leave you my favorite cereal and because you tried to catch me, I made you a Rainbow breakfast.  I love Rainbows after all.  Sorry about the toliet, but I drank too much Green Milk. 

Love
Sammy Shamrock


We ate our rainbow breakfast and Chase's favorite part was the whip cream clouds.   I didn't drink my Green milk because I think the Leprechaun peed in it to make it green.  Mommy laughed and said no it was just green milk, but I still drank water instead.   

We will try again next year Sammy, so be ready....

Christmas Morning Madness

 

Christmas morning starts off with me waking up at the crack of dawn, jumping out of bed and running into the living room to see if Santa came last night.  And he did, off to wake Grace, Mommy and Daddy up! We have a family tradition where we wait for the rest of the family to come over so we can open all our presents together. 

It isn't too long before they all arrive and let the Christmas morning Chaos begin! 

Four kids, ages 8,6,5,3 tearing into gifts from Santa.  Wrapping paper is still coming down from the ceiling.  We had a wonderful Christmas, but best of all we got to spend it with the ones we love. 

Merry Christmas to all... Love Chase and Grace

Fishing and Sliding in the Big O

The gang packed up and drove to GG and Gpa's house for a little summer fun. 

We of course had to go fishing, but even the fish thought it was too hot to bite. 

 So we did the next best thing to do to beat the heat, Waterslide fun :) 

 

Kai, Mya and Chase all could jump and slide super fast.  But I am just a shade to small to leap that high.  But that didn't stop me, I climbed up and scooted down with the best of them.

It was a long fun day at GG's and Gpa's.  I can't wait till we go back again to see them. 

Happy 3rd Birthday Grace

Wow I am now Three and I am a Big Girl.  

 I was lucky enough to have 2 parties again this year.  I had a Dora party at my preschool and since it is summer time, Kai and Mya were there to help Chase sing. 

Then on my actual birthday I had a Bubble Guppy party.  It was suppose to be a swim party, but the weather had other ideas.  No rain could ruin my birthday party, we played pin the tail on a Molly and Gil (my favorite Bubble Guppies)  Some of us were better than others, I think they could see underneath the mask. 

Poor Kai, Mom saw a chance to give him some sugar and he didn't see it coming. 

I have been singing "Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Gracie, Happy Birthday to Me" for a week and now it is finally time. 

All right here I go, make a wish, and take a deep breath......whooosh  I did it, I did it... Yay!

  

We ate Bubble Guppy cakepops and just had the best time. 

And at the end of the party we all became Bubble Guppies

Thank you to all who came and those who couldn't.  I love you all and had a wonderful 3rd Birthday.  Looking forward to many more. 

Super Dad

And every Super Dad needs a Super Breakfast!  We helped mom make a special breakfast for daddy on "Daddy Day"
