St. Patrick's Day 2010

St. Patrick's Day 2010 was a lot of fun at Alecgator's house. He became interested in the week leading up to the day as we started to talk about what wacky tricksters leprechans are and how they would even play tricks on teachers (like making animal sounds come out of the bells they ring for clean up time, or turning their hair a funny colour). He kept a solid watch (including guard duty) on the backyard for leprechauns, convinced that he could catch one. While he didn't find any actual leprechauns, he found some evidence of them (holes in the backyard) as well as some of their gold coins in the backyard on the day. Despite his vigilence, they managed to play one solid trick on him (i.e. green milk). Mom made green pancakes in the shape of shamrocks and he had a special shirt for the day that said `Shamrock and Roll`.
