Leprechaun Letter

My children woke up to little foot prints all over their room and a letter from Lucky the Leprechaun. Download Letter
So we decided to make a Leprechaun Trap.  He keeps leaving footprints around the house...I hope we catch him!

He keeps taking our money, but he always leaves a little treat! 

St. Patricks Day Treasure Hunt

I created this little treasure hunt for my children to finish off the day of searching for Lucky the Leprechaun.

Rainbow Pancakes

 

I came up with this idea while laying in bed thinking about a fun St. Patrick's Day breakfast.  My kids were overly excited about these!

 

 

Buttermilk Pancakes

 

• 1 cup flour
• 1 TBS sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 2 TBS cooking oil

 

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt.  In a separate bowl combine egg, buttermilk, and oil.  Ad egg mixture all at once to flour mixture.  Stir until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Can add more buttermilk if it needs thinned.  Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto lightly greased griddle. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side, turning to second side when pancakes have bubbly surface and edges are slightly dry.  Serve warm with butter or peanut butter and syrup.

 

For the Rainbow pancakes, I divided the batter in two separate pouring bowls.  I added a few drops of orange food coloring (Durant's favorite color) to one and blue (Shandon's favorite color) to the other.  I then poured one color in a rainbow shape and then the second right on top.  I added butterscotch chips and chocolate chips at the bottom of the rainbow (pot of gold).
