I couldn't find my corned beef I purchased a few days ago when I went to make dinner. Found it still sitting in my husband's trunk. So, no St. Patty's dinner for us.
We tweaked our leprechaun trap and were sure we were going to catch one this year. He ended up stealing all the gold, then turned the milk green. That was kind of cool. Allison thought she was drinking magical milk.
That is until she saw that he also peed in the toilet, turning it green too. I saw this on Pinterest and thought Allison would get a kick out of it. Stupidly not thinking that she would also think that he peed in the milk as well. This upset her thinking she drank leprechaun urine. To top it all off, he forgot to leave gold candy coins like he normally does.
It was definitely a St. Patrick's Day fail this year.
How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year?
I was just at work, didn't even wear green.
ReplyDeleteHope you didn't get pinched! My daughter informed us the night before that she had been perfecting her pinching skills, so we made sure we had green on!
DeleteI NEVER would have connected the pee to the milk in a million years, but it's funny how kids minds work differently. I saw the pee thing on pinterest, too, but I never did it. I did such a big deal out of the Elf on the Shelf this year, but I just had no interest in going all out for the leprechaun this year.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the last holiday's I think Allison will still believe in this sort of stuff. I tried going all out, but jamming too much in backfired this year!
DeleteLOL, oh my gosh, it's not funny I know. But oh my gosh. lolol
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the fail. We didn't do anything special, just a normal day. I did make sure the youngest wore green so his sister couldn't pinch him. ;)
It's funny now, so laugh away Rosey :)
DeleteThat is so funny she thought he would think he peed in the milk. But I suppose at that age, that might be what I thought too.
ReplyDeleteAs for the meat.... I have left things in our trunk before.... Been there done that.
It wouldn't have ticked me off so much if I hadn't paid so much for it :(
DeleteLOL I'd be upset too if a leprachaun went and peed in my drink
ReplyDeleteYeah, she was pretty miffed we got a jerk of a leprechaun this year.
DeleteSorry about the St. Paddy's Day fail! I spend all day reading books lol such a party animal I am.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the perfect day to me Keith!
DeleteOh shoot, guess the leprechaun accidentally overlooked that connection. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh no! Sorry about the corned beef! I love the little foot prints on the thrown!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a preemptive strike from the little people to me. :)
ReplyDeleteOh no...there's always next year! I had done a post on all cool things a leprechaun might do, and you'd think I would have done one of them myself...nope. Although ours did leave some chocolate coins I had bought, and only remembered I had, because Autumn's friend called her up to tell her everything the leprechaun did at her house.
ReplyDeleteOh hahahaha. That wasn't a fail. That was hilarious. I haven't ever seen a Leprechaun leave tracks on a toilet. I am going to have to remember that one. Oh your post has been officially bookmarked. You always keep me smiling. (Im doing my homework, I'm doing my homework)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I like your green fun!
ReplyDeleteLOL omg Theresa...I literally laughed out loud about Allison thinking he peed in the milk!! I can see how a kid would think that though. That sucks about your corned beef :( I've done that before by accident...not pleasant! lol
ReplyDeletehaha fantastic ideas actually! how did you get your milk green? with food colouring?
ReplyDeleteAi @ Sakura Haruka
I'm sorry it didn't quite go according to plan. That happens to us moms. South Africa doesn't celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but I was wearing my only green shirt quite by accident when I found out later. That made me happy.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I hadn't been following you on GFC. I've now joined the list! Thanks for linking on my Picture Perfect Party Linky. I hope you link again at

We don't do much for St Patrick's Day. We did all wear green, and we had corned beef and potatoes for dinner, but otherwise it was just a pretty regular Sunday. We went to church and then did some shopping. No leprechauns around here. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha..awesome story, especially that Allison thought he peed in the milk! :P
ReplyDeleteHaha I like the concepts but can see how a kid might misinterpret it. Ahh well, hopefully you have a better one next year.
ReplyDeleteNo gold coins? How could he? Ohwell, hopefully he coincidentally left some candy or something...
