Todd's Tatler

Pancakes with green tinted cream cheese topping. 

Caleb thoroughly enjoyed seeing so much of his favorite color!

 Caleb did his Hulk impression

 while the girls chatted and patiently waited to start the fun.

You see, the night before St. Patrick's Day, a little leprechaun came to visit our home....
Starting the scavenger hunt:

They figured out the party blowers pretty quickly!

Green blocks are fun!

 Doing a jig of their own
(Maddie really enjoyed the music!)

 Working some magic!

All the clues put together spelled "Happy St. Patrick's Day"
Caleb showed off by identifying each letter for the girls again.
Unfortunately, they weren't impressed.

The clues led to leprechaun portions of pistachio pudding.

Maddie and Victoria had their finger nails painted
silver with green sparkles...

...while Caleb colored a picture.

Then they all did some rainbow paintings!
(I think this was Victoria's favorite part.)

After Victoria went home, we had a lunch 

of pureed spinach alfredo over leprechaun bow ties
 while watching The Secret of Kells.

And for a touch of authenticity, we had fish and colcannon for dinner. 

That...didn't go over as well with the kids.


Stay tuned for Caleb's birthday post!
