The Belated Leprechaun Visit

The leprechauns decided to wait until Friday night to visit to allow Jon to be home when Shawn discovered the remnants of that visit. Shawn woke up and headed straight to the restroom like usual. He found a toilet full of green water because the leprechaun used his bathroom. Shawn refused to use the bathroom until I had flushed all the green away. Then we found gold candy scattered all over the house along with notes telling Shawn where to look for his stash of St. Patricks day goodies. The said stash was located in the dryer, which Shawn thought was so silly. The leprechaun knocked over chairs, made small messes, and turned our milk green.

Shawn was certain that the leprechaun was hiding somewhere in the house so he made me go through the whole house looking for him even outside and in the garage.
Shawn found many, many things that the leprechaun did that Jon and I weren't even aware of. Such as, putting a pen under the couch cushion, leaving a sock in the dryer, leaving some books on the floor, putting the bread in a different spot on the counter, leaving the lid off my lotion bottle, etc. Everything single thing that wasn't perfectly placed in the house was considered an act of the leprechaun. Shawn literally spent about 40 minutes going around the house looking for things the leprechaun did. Even to the point that he was going through his books to make sure the leprechaun didn't rip any pages. He just kept saying, "that silly leprechaun".
I had no idea that Shawn would love this holiday so much.
Shawn eating his "leprechaun cereal"Shawn was certain that the leprechaun had broke his bug he made even though Evan had just been playing with it.He also blamed the empty juice bottle on the leprechaun Shawn asked Jon to lift him up to see on top of the entertainment center. He needed to check for leprechauns, notes, or candy.
Just a random picture from the morning. We got a baby gate recently and Evan does not love being restricted form the stairs.
