I just happen to overhear my kids gleefully talking about all the mischief that would be happening in my house last night. I was so exhausted I could have cried. I can totally see why teachers do it---good grief these kids were having the time of their lives just imagining what could happen after whatever their teachers had told them!<br />Since I was COMPLETELY unprepared and couldn't pull of taking them to Target at the last minute to buy gold coins in front of them, I did the best I could and died the milk green and put green dye in the toilet. I also left out mini-chocolate chips under John's trap with the plan to tell him he narrowly escaped but the trap clearly scared the poop out of him.<br />Just so I could feel ashamed at my annoyance and reluctance to participate, my kids reactions to the few things I did do was PRICELESS and met with as much enthusiasm as Santa. My decision NOT to make messes (claiming the leprechaun was so scared by the trap that he was too scared to make messes in our house) was even met with enthusiasm as my kids ran room to room and proclaiming, "The leprechaun skipped this room because it was already a mess!" As they were spying the green milk they proclaimed, "that leprechaun sure made a mess in this fridge!"<br />Watching the kids figure out how to justify trying to eat the leprechaun poop just in case it tasted like chocolate chips was the highlight. They even gave it to their sister first as the tester---such brothers!Mama Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899757037580755356noreply@blogger.com
