One lucky leprechaun had the tot lot to herself on Saint Paddy’s Day!

These two leprechauns are officially obsessed with all holidays. They constantly ask me to recite the order of all the major holidays we’ve celebrated so far, so that they can calculate how long it will be until Halloween and Christmas. It’s an eternity in four-year-old time.

They had been making leprechaun and clover crafts in school on month, so they knew Saint Patrick’s Day was coming and had assumed because it was a holiday, there would be candy, cake and maybe presents. Sorry, girls!

We brought green leprechaun muffins to school (made out of spinach, and the kids wolfed them down when the teachers told them they were special leprechaun muffins… marketing at its finest!). Their classes also made fruit loop necklaces and played games with golden chocolate coins, so the girls thought it was all acceptably festive as far as minor holidays go.

I had volunteered at their preschool earlier that month helping Miss Becky’s class out with some leprechaun crafts. Amelia and Mila took their sweet time painting the leprechaun’s beard.

Pot of gold craft.

No pinches for these girls.

Great Auntie Lynn treated us to a belated birthday dinner for the girls, who were ecstatic about continuing their birthday celebrations a week later!

Holding this wiggle monster is an ordeal.

We were still recovering from our Disneyland adventure and hadn’t done the girls’ hair in two days– their Elsa and Ariel hair dos from the Anna and Elsa Boutique were still passably intact, so we kept that going for as long as possible!

Happy birthday (again)!

Meredith is such a little copy cat and tries to mimic whatever she sees the girls doing. She grabbed one of their toothbrushes and just started brushing her teeth one day, and has done so every night since. She never wants to feel left out and takes matters into her own hands.

Lots of love,
