So we're supposed to write about St. Pat's day, and although I have zero good drinking stories, I have a GREAT teaching story from yesterday. My friend Steph and I decided to play a little trick on my first graders and wreck my room as a mischievous little leprechaun might have. Then she had the brilliant idea of making leprechaun footprints leading to my sink and dropping some paint in to say to the kids that he must have jumped down. Do you know that not only did they believe it and love it, but then they started "seeing" him too. Finally one of my kids said he was in his backpack and he was taking him home to show his mom. I laughed so hard!
But karma will come to get ya. I forgot to clean up the prints! Oops hope the paint doesn't stick too well!
So now for the exciting news, some prizesssssss.
Grand Prize 1: Winner's Choice of a Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet

I don't have any amazing leprechaun stories (lots of great drinking ones lol). The best Leprechaun story is that my girlfriends son (8 like my daughter) has informed us that their dog is bouncy becaause he is part leprechaun. This is due to his birth on St. Patricks day last year :)
Aww! Adorable! Great story, kids have such fantastic imaginations!

I don't have any cute leprechan stories like yours. However, I think that drinking copious amounts of green beer has caused me (in my youth) to see leprechans...devilish little things that make you do things you wouldn't do had you NOT had that awful green beer!

I colored leprechaun in school once... does that count as a cute story? I was adorable holding that crayon!

That was a cute idea, the kids must have been something to see, can imagine their faces.
Afraid I don't have any good stories.

No great leprechaun stories, but my father used to find four leaf clovers all the time. I swear all he had to do was look down and there one would be.
Happy St. Patricks Day.

I wish I had a fun story to tell, unfortunately I don't. Unless of course you count the time when the most awesome complete dome shaped rainbow appeared and I wondered if there was a pot of gold on each end. LOL
Thank you for this opportunity!
Happy St. Patrick's Day.

No exciting leprechaun story though I've always wanted to chase rainbows to see if there really was a pot of gold. Have a great St. Patrick's Day.

Your story was very cute. That's what I love about little kids, how they believe in things. I have no cute or funny stories about the holiday. We didn't really celebrate in my family other than to have corned beef and cabbage.

Well a few years ago I was down on my luck..and I met this leprachaun. He gave me a group of wonderful friends, that have helped me recover from a car accident. I dont know what I would do without them, and they are MY pot of gold :)
Happy St Pattys Day ! ~ May you find gold at the end of your rainbow

No cute leprechaun stories for me either. I think we all must be very boring St Patrick's Day people, so no little leprechaun will come visit us. Thanks for the giveaway!

When I was in kindergarten, the teacher and teachers aid made "leprechaun footprints" with green chalk and we had to follow them to find the leprechaun. We had just missed him but he left us a big party with green koolaid and cookies. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I don't have a leprechaun story, but maybe I'll get lucky and one will visit me this year! Thanks.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!
Unfortunately NO great leprechaun stories...and never even found a four-leafed clover *sadface* BUT...interestingly enough, I do have a funny story! :D My favorite St. Paddy's Day memory is from two years ago, when a bunch of us friends (boys & girls) went out to a pub in Pasadena, and met lots of random strangers...and then brought them back to a friend's place, where we were having a FEAST! One of the strangers we met, Marc...got SO hammered on beer...he took one of those beer top thingies...got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him!!! Funny thing is, I didn't even know his last name! lol :P Needless to say, that wedding never took place...but we're still in touch, and he's a sweet guy. Crazy good times...
Thank you for your generosity, and for participating in this blog hop! :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I love that story. It's so cute! My niece, who I picked up from school today, told me that a leprechaun visited her classroom today and made a complete mess. She said that he just threw paper everywhere and stuff. Then they all helped pick it up and then were friends with him. She said it was a story to teach them. Then she told me that when she got home, she was going to find the one in her room and hide him from her parents. Lol. Six year olds are so funny. Thank you for the giveaway and HOP!
