St. Patrick's Day: Why do I always forget about you?

My kids set a Leprechaun trap last night. It was a big box filled with a few coins to lure the miniature green dudes, who magically escape after trading the real coins for chocolate ones. Only this year, the Leprechaun missed the trap and didn't leave any chocolate coins (read: Mom fell asleep early).

A Leprechaun managed to turn milk green this morning, which was a last-minute save. And he might make a sneaky appearance at dinner. If I have enough time, I might even try to make these adorable Jell-O Shamrocks (hat's off to Zakka Life for the neat idea). Or? Maybe a simple Shamrock Shake will do the trick.

But tonight, I know I'll vow to do a better job planning ahead the next year because my kids go absolutely gaga over St. Paddy's Day.

Did you do something special for your kids this St. Patrick's Day?
