St Pat's Day Here We come

I finished making the girls little paper purses, for the Leprechaun to leave, after they went to bed tonight. I had wanted to get cute St Pat's paper, but knew if I went into Archiver's just for paper I would not come out with just paper. So I figured bet not go and just make what I have work. They turned out kinda cute right?



I am trying to scale back on all the holiday gifts, so I went with the little purse and bought some gold chocolate coins to put inside it. I was so good I bought the coins last week and hid them till tonight. As I opened up the expensive bag of coins I noticed that they we all holiday coins. And by holiday coins I do not mean St Patrick's Day. They were all Chanukah coins!!! What they heck! It is now 9pm and I have nothing to fill the purses. I am so pissed. I can't wait till I go back to the chocolate store tomorrow for a piece of my mind. Not only did they charge a lot for these stupid pieces of chocolate, but they are selling OLD pieces of chocolate. I mean this holiday was months ago! Luckily hubby ran to store and came back with the only other thing I could think of...ROLOS. At least they are wrapped in gold foil.

A new thing this year was the making of the leprechaun traps. B was all over this as soon as she got home from school. It is pretty cute and creative. the only problem was how to make it look like the leprechaun set off the trap but did not get trapped. I ended up taking the real gold coin and left a few rolos inside the trap. All this sneaky behavior has totally worn me out. Well that and the fact that my littlest shamrock has been awake and rather fussy since 5 pm. It is now 9:30pm. He better sleep well tonight that is all I have to say.

A didn't make a trap. Instead she mad a bag for the leprechaun to put all of his gold in.

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY TO YOU ALL!
