A treat, some tricks & a party (a final St. Patrick post)

I had to post one final entry on St. Patrick's Day before moving onto to Easter. So here it is: a treat, some tricks & a party...
On St. Patrick's eve (we'll call it) Connor & Braden made sweet shamrock pretzels. St. Patty day may be all about being green but Braden had to stay true to blue and sprinkle his favorite color over his treat before we put them in the oven.
We bought Pillsbury bread stick dough and rolled it in cinnamon and sugar crystals before twisting it into a shamrock shape-a final coating of color went on top before they were baked.
While they were at school a leprechaun was up to some tricks at home. They returned to fins this tell tale trail of green leading into the house!
They expressions on their faces were priceless. This photo really captured how shocked they were-I think they thought he was still going to be inside!
Following the trail inside they found that the naughty little leprechaun had stolen one of our cupcakes!
In his haste to get away he'd dropped a pile of gold out of his pocket in front of the fridge-they quickly scooped it up!
