We had visitors last night. Wow was David excited. He woke up and found green foot prints outside his bed room door with a green hot wheel, green goggles and some green hershey kisses. (Allison had blue goggles and candy, she woke up later and wasn't so excited until she realized they were candy and in they went.) He had left some gold coins out to entice the leprechauns in hopes that they would take the coins and leave him something green. He couldn't believe it worked. He then asked me "how are the foot prints stuck to the wall? Why are they a funny shape? Leprechauns must have funny feet or shoes. I think there shoes have tape on the bottoms so when they walk in houses the tape sticks and it leaves a print, but it doesn't do that outside or we could see them hiding."
When he came home from preschool I had set up a treasure hunt from Leo the Leprechaun. He ran around the house searching for clues and the pot of gold. He just told me he thinks leprechauns must be the nicest small creatures around. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
