Visit from a Leprechaun

K has been talking about leprechauns quite a bit because they've been having leprechaun visits at school and writing notes for the leprechaun.  She just knew a leprechaun would come to our house for St. Patrick's day.  I've never done anything for St. P's day.  I've always looked at cute things others did and though, "How nice.  Maybe next year..."  I figured I'd better get in touch with a local leprechaun and have her visit our house this year.

 She did a pretty good job.  She snuck into the kids' rooms and left gold coins on their floors and a couple in K's leprechaun house.  She left a trail of gold coins down the hall.  On the bar she left a box of Lucky Charms and a bottle of green "leprechaun juice" for breakfast and bags of gold treats as well as green jelly beans scattered all over.  Plus she hung green crepe paper all around creating a fun atmosphere.

Here's the note Mrs. L left for the K.  K had started a note before bed to leave for the leprechaun. The leprechaun left a response on the bottom of K's note.  K thought it was pretty special that Mrs. L would come and respond.  Really, K was so excited.  The other kids were too but K was the one who had been anticipating a leprechaun visit.  I'm so glad she wasn't disappointed!
