Visit from a Leprechaun

Did I tell you that we had a visitor at our house on St. Patrick's Day? 

 Well, we did.

That silly leprechaun turned our pancakes green! And our milk green!

 Then, when we got back from our walk, we noticed that he also left us a picture of himself, along with a note that he needed some help finding his stolen pot of gold.

 In order to find his pot of gold, we had to find the shamrocks that he left all around the house.

On the back of every shamrock was a task that the leprechaun wanted us to complete before we followed the clue to find the next shamrock.

As it turns out, this little leprechaun REALLY loves the violin. So, many of his tasks were asking Olivia to play her little violin.

 She was happy to play, especially because she knows how to play a song that is called

Leprechaun song!

 And I took lots of pictures, because, well, because she looked stinkin cute.

 Liv had so much fun finding the shamrocks.

 (I love this picture of her doing "GGG song" with her hand in her pocket.

One of Warner's tasks was to build a train track, which he was more than happy to do.

Here are a bunch of pictures of the kids completing some of the Leprechaun's tasks and searching for more shamrocks.

At last Liv finished her last task and it was time to search for the rainbow. For we all know that leprechauns sometimes leave their pots of gold at the end of rainbows.   

 

The kids were so excited when they found the pot of gold. And the leprechaun even told them in the note that he would share his gold with them.

 Unfortunately the leprechaun and the fairy had a little fight over his pot of gold, and although the fairy ended up winning the pot of gold, her legs got ripped off in the process.  Good thing she has wings?  (Yea apparently if you try to make these little fairy's sit a little too roughly their legs pop right off, oops!)  There were some major tears shed from a certain other fairy over the loss of her dear fairy sisters legs, and it took quite a few hugs to soothe her over that one.

 

In the end we were all very happy that a leprechaun visited our house and hope that he will come back to visit next year.
