This morning I got up around 5:15am and hid shamrocks around the house and a pot of chocolate coins and colored our milk and juice and yogurt green. I would have done it all last night but lately I'm out cold around 8:00pm and the thought of doing anything more than laying on the couch and watching TV exhausts me. I had to do it early though because our kids seem to wake up with the sun and the birds (around 5:50am) and I didn't want to be caught red-handed. Being a sneaky parent is so stressful. Anyway. . . when the boys woke up they went on their little treasure hunt and found the pot of gold hidden in the oven. Noah was especially thrilled. Mark asked him to say prayer, before we dug into our green breakfast, and this is what Noah asked for: "And please bless us that we will be lucky and see a. . . (whispering) what are they called Mommy?. . . a leprechaun. Amen." The excitement level was at a peak this morning and it almost made me feel like a kid again. Of course, Hunter was onto me like wildfire, but nevermind. Noah's day was made and that's all that matters. I need to do better at these sort of things. It's kind of the icing on the cake of childhood--they get so excited over the littlest things. Anyway, hope your St. Patty's day is just as thrilling as ours, if not more.
