Happy St. Messy Patrick's Day

Those pesky Leprechaun's showed up at our house overnight.

I try my best every year to set up a nice table for the girls and this is what I get for my troubles?

I don't know why I bother anymore.  It happens every year.

Oh, just a minute...I do know why.  It's because it's the only day of the year that we get Lucky Charms for breakfast. Have you ever tasted them? They are so darn yummy.  I plan on having a bowl for breakfast, lunch and supper.

I know. 

I have issues.  

Many of which stem from my mother sprinkling wheat germ on every bowl of cereal I ever ate.  

She was very healthy.  

And I love her for caring about our well-being.

But I still have issues.

It may have more to do with the enforced liver and onions once a week than the wheat germ.  I haven't figured it out yet,  I'll let you know when I do. 

But you know those little green bedecked guys aren't too bad, even if they do arrive under the cover of night and wreak havoc on our home.

 Even if they leave a trail of my ripped napkins all over the place and generally make pests of themselves.  They do have some redeeming qualities. 

We like their gifts of gold.  They are quite generous...well, except for the few gold wrappers that were found in the garbage by our youngest?  I mean they must get awfully hungry during their evening escapades?  

I know I would.

And these aren't just regular old jelly beans.  These are gourmet sour apple jelly bellies! 

So I've decided...

too overlook their naughtiness.  

I think their hearts are in the right place. Don't you?

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY 

from our home to yours.
