Leprechaun Tricks

Well, I guess if you put out rainbow bread that leprechaun keeps coming back to play tricks... here is what the little guy did:

left all the green toys out
rearranged the chairs and put the stools at the table with doll house chairs on them
set up the entire train set in the living room
put the playsilks in a rainbow
used the magnetic letters to write a message (picture to come)
set breakfast up in the living room
turned the milk green

And here is his final note:

Today is the last trick I play

I must go, I cannot stay

The tricks were fun

But now they’re done

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Rainbow bread

Pinterest has been quite an inspiration to me recently. A couple days ago I came across an idea for making rainbow bread and I just had to try it. So I used the recipe I had (http://doodlebugdeb.blogspot.com/2011/06/homemade-bread.html) and split it into six balls to color with food coloring.
Then we stacked them to let them rise in rainbow order:
It was hard to get the colors in but IT WORKED!!
So much fun.
And now the bread it out for the leprechauns to come tonight. The kids will wake tomorrow morning to find all of their green toys out and this note:
Hi Navin kids, thanks for the bread
no gifts this time, just tricks instead
I played with toys the color green
but I'll make sure I am not seen
I’ll come again when you’re in bed
