The Leprechaun

Normally, around this house, we barely acknowledge St. Patrick's Day. We always make sure we wear green so no one gets pinched, but that is about it. This year, The Dancer started talking to me on Monday about how at her friend's house the leprechaun comes and hides jelly beans. I nodded and listened, but didn't really think anything of it. When she got home from school yesterday she asked me if I had been able to reach him. Last night, she asked me to wake her up at 6:00 am so she would have time to find her jelly beans. Yikes! She obviously wasn't going to let this drop. I had to do some fast work. So, I called the leprechaun at the last minute. He threw pieces of The Gals clothing over their ceiling fans, and sure enough - jelly beans were hidden and subsequently found. Good thing I had his number in my special book where I also keep the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny phone numbers.

Kite Day

Today, we headed over to one of the county athletic parks for Kite Day. The county we live in provided kites the kids could color. We had brought our own, but The Gals decided that maybe the ones they colored themselves would fly better. It was a perfect way to spend the first good weather day we have had in a long time!

She's Got Spirit - Yes She Do!

Last Friday, I went to eat lunch with The Gals. While I was there, they announced the Spirit Award winners for the month from each class. Surprisingly, The Basketball Player's name was announced. I say "surprisingly" because she has only been there for about 3 weeks. She was very excited - especially about the free meal from Chik-Fil-A.
