St. Patty's

We didn't have the best St. Patty's day...to say the least. Both the girls have been sick all week, and while they are both starting to feel better, they were nice enough to share the nasty bug with their mom and dad. We had hoped to dodge the bullet. We had both not felt well last Monday, but managed to make it through the week. Unfortunately we both woke up this morning feeling like we'd been hit by a bus. Thank goodness it's the weekend.

I had some fun things planned for "leprechaun" day, but most were tossed out the window this morning when I woke up and realized someone beat me up while I was sleeping. Although those mischievous little leprechaun's did managed to sneak into our house and plan a little treasure hunt for Reese. (Have I ever mentioned how much this kid loves any kind of treasure hunt or scavenger hunt??) They left a trail of chocolate gold from her room to the first clue, then managed to scatter gold through-out the house. It was fun to have Reese burst into our room this morning excitedly yelling, "mom, mom...those crazy leprechaun's visit me and leave chocolate all over!!" She dragged Arnold and I around the house until she found her final treasure in her bedroom closet. We tried to act as excited as two people can, who feel like death. Then Arnold was nice enough to make "green" blueberry pancakes for breakfast. That put a wrap to our St. Patty's day fun. We all sacked out on the couch for the rest of the day. We didn't even wear green. Most of us never got out of our pj's.
