Happy Little Leprechaun
March 2nd, 2012
Bug is a huge fan of St. Patrick’s Day. I think it’s the remainders of her love for the color green. She might say she’s into indigo or turquoise or ultra-marine peacock…but I think she still holds a very big soft spot for the color green.
So of course we had to make a great big Leprechaun House for our March Alpha+Mom project!
The leprechaun headband hat thingy was a really big deal. It may have been number six on our things-to-do list but she talked about it nonstop for days. Normally, I wouldn’t give such a cheap tacky headband a second thought but I have a kid who loves headbands and she will actually wear it day in and day out for years to come. She’s such a nut.

I love the visual to-do-list. Would totally make chores easier for little ones to follow through on with maybe a check off box. Make bed, brush teeth, pick up 47 toys… Neat!

Still the little girl in green! I love the last photo… and the to-do list. My favorite holiday too!

She is so adorable, SAJ!
St. Patrick’s Day was one of our favorite holidays. “Leper-cons” (as my little boy called them) left gold coins (pennies spray painted) all over the house. The children woke up to pranks done by the little people- all the shoes in the house piled up in a strange spot, breakfast milk colored green.
I think it was because it was a holiday with little expectations attached to it that made it such a treasure- anything I did as a mom made the day special, including corned beef and cabbage for dinner.
I always enjoy your blog! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you and your wee lassie!

It’s amazing the stuff we buy for our kidlets, but that headband hat is not only Bug-fun, it’s a great prop that even made it into your cute banner! Totally worth it.

Ahhhh the new banner modeled by Bug! I thought it was random. Hee hee!
And I love your cardboard creations. Do you have a flickr set for them all?
