The Lucky Edition

This week the anticipation leading to St. Patrick's Day was far greater than I expected. At least on my end. I was so excited for Marcus to see if a St. Patty's Day Leprechaun would make his way to our house, and if he did, what little shenanigans the leprechaun might have up his sleeves.

That leads me right into this weeks highlights...

1. The Leprechaun Came!

The very first thing Marcus saw when he got out of bed was this. And then Marcus refused to pee in this toilet. No explanation was given, just a firm refusal. Whatever, kiddo. 

2. Breakfast and a Letter

Our leprechaun had Lucky Charms and green milk waiting for Marcus once we made our way to the kitchen. The green milk wasn't a fan favorite, so we had to switch to our standard white milk for actual consumption.

We then noticed the letter below sitting next to breakfast.

Naturally we waited on breakfast so we could check out this little hunt that was laid before us. 

3. The Treasure Hunt!

From the letter above we were directed to Marcus' bedroom door:
Clue 1: To find the next clue
take a look in the place where you use shampoo (we headed to the shower)
Clue 2: Now use your feet to find your seat.
You might try looking underneath (off to the kitchen stool we headed)
Clue 3: Follow your nose to the place where you make toast.
You may even need to stand on your toes! (We went to the toaster)

Clue 4: When it is time to say good-night, we often turn off the light.
Use your sight to find the next clue by a light (the bedroom lamp!)
Clue 5: If you were to look right near your books
then you would certainly hook the next clue (the book stack)
Clue 6: It is my pleasure to tell you that the treasure can be found beneath the place you sleep (under the bed)

Marcus has a trundle under his bed, but thankfully he has a couple of drawers in bottom portion of his bed. 
Wouldn't you know it, that sneaky leprechaun left a Chase (Paw Patrol) piggy bank and gold coins!
A huge thanks to Courtney at Sweet Turtle Soup for providing the treasure hunt idea and made our St. Patrick's Day morning so fun!

As we were getting ready to head to school I asked Marcus what was his favorite part of the leprechaun fun. Without hesitation he said he liked the clues to his Chase. 

Noted. I do believe the leprechaun will be back next year.

4. Lucky Me!

I couldn't be more lucky (or blessed) to have these two babes call me mom. I was also pretty lucky to snag this photo of the three of us: we're all looking at the camera, we all have our eyes open, and somehow all of our expressions are basically the same. I love it.

5. Winner! Winner!

 A ginormous thank you to each and every person who entered the Luck of the Bucks giveaway!

Brittany was the lucky lady drawn for $150 to Starbucks! She has so many coffees/lattes/cappuccinos/teas headed her way, Happy St. Patrick's Day to her!

Have a great weekend!
