The leprechauns left behind a couple of their "pots of gold"... and they just happened to be full of toys that Minnette and Aurelle would love!
These girls definitely lucked out this year!
This is now Minnette's favorite toy! Not a day has gone by that she hasn't played with it. She loves to take it outside, and often tries to bring it with her when we go to the store! Those leprechauns sure know what they are doing!
Kyle was suprised to find some treasure left behind for him as well, containing a Man vs. Wild DVD (Bear Grylls is his hero!), beef jerky and green candy! 
Our festivities were kicked off with a special St. Patty's Day breakfast. Our breakfast menu consisted of Lucky Charms and GREEN Odwalla juice: 
Minnette loved it... and ended up eating only the marshmellows out of her Lucky Charms!
For lunch we had chips and guacamole, quesadillas made with spinnach tortillas and mint chocolate chip milkshakes! I made the mistake of wanting EVERYTHING to be green, so I added green food dye to the sour cream for our quesadillas and to the cool whip for our shakes... let me just say that green food that is not naturally green is not very appetizing! I kept expecting the sour cream to taste like mint. 
Dinner was a little more appetizing. We had pesto pasta, ceaser salad, rolls with green butter and GREEN martinelli's.
And for dessert we had rainbow jello!

I LOVE going all out for holidays. This year was my first attempt and not everything turned out, but I already have some good ideas planned for next year!

How clever! I've never even seen St. Patrick's day buckets. Nor ever thought about doing any kind of bucket/pot idea. Kudos to you! It looks like it was fun!
How do you make rainbow jello?!?!
I agree with Minnette, the lucky charm marshmallows were the best food of the day (not fond of green stuff).
Great ideas though.
