Luck O' the Martone Littles

Today was the last day of my school week-and it was also Leprechaun trap day, which meant "St. Paddy's at the Martone house" :) I wasn't about to play out having a Leprechaun visit MULTIPLE times this week-I DO NOT have the gumption.
So though it is only March 14th, the kids have NO CLUE, and I plan to keep it that way. ha ha


The traps were set out with great care...
in hopes that a wee man soon would be there! ;)

In the house there were explicit instructions whose room to hit first-

Alas they weren't fooled & instead trapped the humans....

But at least they left treasures to make up for their goofin'!




All green breakfast was on the menu-this year fruit kabobs did the trick.


At school the excitement was plenty:

Checking out tiny footprints on traps & gold freedom payments.

 There were rainbow licorice necklaces to be made...

And rainbow snacks to be eaten:

Plus a scavenger hunt amidst it all too!

When the pot of gold was found-inside was the treasure!

Before we all knew it-Preschool had ended, and lunch was to start

but couldn't be found. The hunt was on-a leprechaun had pinched it, where could it be now?

Thank goodness for Emee-her peepers open wide, she couldn't be fooled,

her lunch was OUTSIDE!

 A quick meal later-it was off for "School Round 2"-where Momma was teaching there this day TOO!

Emma took special treats to share with her friends at Kinder....they were a HIT-she couldn't have been prouder!

and we couldn't forget the teachers, paras, secretaries, custodian & our favorite school counselor. So they got Leprechaun Hats!

After school it was discovered there was more fun to be had:

and a rainbow prize hiding in the shed!

Now with kidlets all tucked in their beds-momma has visions of relaxing for "spring break" just ahead!

NOT!
