With or Without Leprechauns, We Got Mischief Covered

 Who needs leprechauns when you have kids who throw pillows as siblings?  We have plenty of mischief here, thank you very much!  I told Freestone, it's a good thing we have a violin maker living at our house.  Otherwise, he would have been in as much trouble as he was afraid he was going to be in.  I think the fear was punishment enough.
 Leprechauns did manage to sneak in during the night and draw on the kids' faces.  Ptolemy got a mustache and a four-leaf clover.  Our leprechauns must have gotten these sneaky ideas form my cousin Emily's leprechauns!  :)
And this little imp had me cracking up yesterday.  Her assignment was to find items around the house that begin or end with the letter X.  (Incidentally, after being asleep at the wheel for the first seven months of the school year, her teacher is now sending home the I Am Sam books every night, plus an additional baggie book AND a "Letter Bag" and is starting a chick hatching project.  Manic phase??)

So, the letter X.  I found a boX for Xanthe, and then turned her loose to find other items.  She found forx, boox, sox and cards.  Unfortunately, the cards did not end with X.  But I sent the other items to school with her, just because I thought it was funny.  And we didn't have a xylophone or an X-ray lying around.  Ha ha...St. Patty's day is making me feel mischievous!  Or maybe it's the red hair.

Xanthe can always bring herself to school. She IS on of the few things that start with the letter x.

Glad you had such a great day....despite the violin. We didn't do much. A green dinner was about it.
