St. Patrick's Day

I love love love St. Patrick's Day.  I love that a leprechaun comes and plays pranks!  The leprechaun that comes to our house is name Logan the Lucky Leprechaun.  

Logan peed in our toilet and turned our water green!  My 3 year boy boys literally thought that was the funniest thing EVER!  Where ever Logan played a prank, he left gold chocolate coins!  

After the peeing incident Logan did pranks from turning the milk green to leaving rainbow candy.

The boys had rainbow pancakes for breakfast.  We just used a homemade pancake recipe, divided the batter into 4 cups and added the food coloring and cooked it up!

We made Lucky Charms treats!  

Recipe: we used a 3-4-5 method!
