How Lucky Charms and Green Food Coloring Saved St. Patty's Day...

Teya and Brinley burst into our room at 6am on St. Patricks Day yelling, "Did he come?!! Did the Leprechaun come?"

Taber and I looked at each other with confusion and slight panic thinking, "Whoa wait... there was supposed to be a leprechaun?!!" 

Taber was quick on the save and told me to distract the girls while he ran downstairs to "check if the leprechaun had come" (wink wink)

Fortunately we keep our pantry stocked with several reserve boxes of Lucky charms at all times, so "The leprechaun" opened up a box, spread it all over the kitchen and living room, and took a green dry erase marker and drew shamrocks everywhere. Mischievous little devil... :)

The girls came downstairs and were all laughs and giggles at the naughty leprechauns mischief.

And since we were being all St. Patricky I decided to throw a little green food dye in with some whipped cream and topped the girls eggo waffles with green cream and lucky charms marshmallows.  

The girls deemed it "The best St. Patricks day ever!!"

Which is kind of cool to know that we pulled off the Best St. Patricks Day ever without even planning it. All we needed was Lucky Charms and green food coloring. Who knew? :)
