This St. Patrick's holiday has been full of the usual: crafts and baking. Hayden colored some awesome leprechauns that I proudly displayed. I will keep those forever!
We also made leprechauns out of toilet paper rolls. The girl one looks a little bit like a witch. Maybe female leprechauns don't wear hats?

We also made rainbow cupcakes, which quite possibly are the greatest cupcakes I've ever seen! Here's the recipe

Our cupcakes were so tasty, that Hayden thought for sure we could catch the leprechaun with one. Hayden came up with the idea to put a cupcake in the middle of a piece of paper and put a penny on top. Then, he put glue all around the cupcake. The leprechaun would come over to take a bite or grab the penny and he'd get stuck. That was the plan, anyway.
As you can see, we didn't catch a leprechaun, but we DID catch a leprechaun shoe! How many people do you know that can say that?! He also left a note on the paper that read, "You got my shoe, but you'll never catch me!"

The leprechaun did leave us some of his treasure, though.
Green and gold treats!
Green and gold treats!
and...he turned our toilet water green.
Until next year, leprechaun!
