It's not too late to make a memory!

My favorite memory about St. Patrick's day is from kindergarten.  We got to class and leprechauns had made a glitter trail through the room, all over the place, leading to a pot of sparkling Hershey's kisses!  It was so magical and exciting and I've always wanted to bring a little of that magic into my kids' lives. 

It's not too late to make a St. Patty's day memory this year!  It doesn't have to cost anything either!  I've used green confetti to make a trail leading to candy in previous years, but the leprechauns were a little more mischievous this year.  Overnight, they turned our milk green, the eggs green, ate into cupcakes and made frosting footprints all over the kitchen.  They spelled out messages with stale marshmallows on the dining table and left cherry tomatoes all over the kitchen floor for Daddy to step on in the middle of the night (hahahaha!!!)

But who says they can only come at night???  If you still need to make a memory, sneak some food color into their milk at dinner or turn the mac-n-cheese green.  No food coloring?  Turn all the picture frames upside down or put dried beans under the covers.   It's such an easy thing to do, and the memories are so worth the effort!!!!

There's also still time to enter the GIVEAWAY at The Maternal Lens!!

I've never thought to do anything interesting on St. Pats day except eat corned beef and cabbage.  You are so clever!

I had never heard of Leprechauns being so messy and silly until I taught in a nearby town! The Kindergarten teachers always turned chairs upside down and put green food coloring in the toilets (the classrooms had their own).  They put green shaving cream on the desks and all kinds of crazy things!  It was so fun!  I hadn't really thought of doing it at home... :}
