St. Patrick's Day

It was St. Patty's Day yesterday and I tried to wake up early to make a great breakfast for my family.  First I had to puke which woke everyone up, so there went my surprise.  We still had a great breakfast, with Kali being the only one brave enough to eat green eggs.

Then Kali made a Leprechaun trap yesterday after church.  I think she started making them in Kindergarten and she usually makes one every year.  So, I kinda missed the boat on that one.  The plan is to make a trap so the Leprechaun is fooled into it, then he leaves some gold chocolate coins.  Kali had a trap door with double sided tape on the floor that he was supposed to step on and stick to.  It really was a great trap, the best I've seen so far and she decorated it so well.  The only problem is that the Leprechaun didn't come and leave any gold coins, what a jerk!  That trap was outside the front door all day and was checked every half hour.  

So to redeem her sadness, I went to the Bulk Barn and bought a small bag of chocolate gold coins.  I was debating with my friend Erin about what to do with these gold coins.  She made a good point that St. Patrick's Day is over so I should just forget about it.  But that doesn't make me feel very good either.  So I decided that since I love praise and appreciation, I would give her the coins and tell her that I was so disappointed in the Leprechaun that I thought I would buy her some gold coins to make her feel better.  It worked, I'm the BEST Mom.
