I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for the texts, comments, messages, and prayers that were sent Teagen's way since my last post. Tommy and I were overwhelmed with the love for our Baby T. You all are the best!
Now on to the fun stuff...
In case you haven't already noticed, I love a good holiday! I tend to be a little over the top when it comes to celebrations (according to Tommy), and I'm always looking for any excuse to put my kids in matching jams and make a festive breakfast! St. Patrick's Day is no exception! Last year Tommy and Kenna tried to trap a leprechaun and I dyed our pancakes green. Kenna has already been talking this year about what kind of trap she is going to make and she really hopes the leprechaun brings her some gold coins. Check out my 5 Friday Faves that have helped us celebrate, so far!

leprechaun munch l pajamas
My kids are obsessed with puppy chow (ok so am I) and we try to make it often. I was thinking how I could make that tie into St. Patrick's Day and use lucky charms instead. I typed "leprechaun munch" into Pinterest and I couldn't believe the results that came up. I found the recipe that is linked above and bought the ingredients. I made this with the girls on Sunday and OMG it is delicious. I seriously can't stop eating it and I need it to be gone ASAP because it is not good for my summer lake body. You will not regret making this, or maybe you will if you need to go up a pant size; however, it's still so good and definitely worth it!

Our leprechaun shops at Target (because where else would he go?) and found a few goodies in the Dollar Spot to leave for the girls when they go check their trap! I couldn't find them online but you might still be able to pick them up in store! My girls get so excited over the smallest things and so I will always take advantage of every opportunity I get to make something special for them! I can't wait to see their reactions (and no worries, I bought two of everything because we are still working on that sharing concept in the Baldwin Home)!

how to trap a leprechaun
The teacher in me can't let a holiday pass me by without purchasing a new book or two to read to the girls. This year I found the cutest little picture book and I thought it would be perfect to read before we make our trap!

Does anyone else tear up a bit when your kids bring home art that they've made? I'm a sucker for a handprint turkey or finger painted heart. I love to do crafts with Kenna but Teagen is still pretty little that I'm not always sure how she will handle it. I decided to go with the no mess approach and do painting in a bag.
I'm probably just as obsessed as the girls are, and we definitely might be doing this weekly.
It was so easy and mess free!
I just printed a rainbow out onto card stock and then put it in the Ziploc bag. After it dried, I cut around the rainbow shape. I glued some cotton balls on the ends, wrote their name and year down in the corner and tada...easy and cute artwork!

simple leprechaun trap l welcome leprechauns
Kenna has been talking nonstop about trapping her leprechaun. Last year we decided the night before to make a trap (see picture above) and we had to find things laying around the house to use. However, I've been Pinteresting like crazy and I'm determined to be a little more prepared. I linked a few of my favorites that I've found so far and I can't wait to watch Kenna and Teagen (and lets be honest, me) create their trap!
I'm so excited to see their reactions tomorrow morning when they check to see if they caught the leprechaun or not! You seriously need to go creep on my Instagram and find the video from last year! Kenna was so little and I miss her baby voice!
Annnnnnd one more picture from last year because I just can't get over how much they've grown up. Cue the ugly tears.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: being a mom is the coolest!
Enjoy your weekend!
