leprechauns, a shout out, & pigeon peas

These are some of the things bouncing around in my mind today. 

First, I need to say GOOD JOB TODD, on completing the Deacon portion of the Duty to God program.  He's such a good example to his younger brothers.  (When he's not teasing them, beating on them, & ordering them around.)

Second, last night my Muranaka Nephews called because they had heard that Todd had captured a leprechaun.  (Their mom lies) They have some sort of infatuation with leprechauns, and deep down I think they are scared to death of the short little rich dudes.  I'm assuming they are rich.  They always have gold around them. 

Highlight the next couple of empty lines to continue reading about this phone call.  I need to keep some of this out of little peoples (that can read) eyes.
(Start highlighting here) I had some teenagers here at the house and our buddy Ben posed as the captured leprechaun, and did a fab job on the accent, I must say.  They talked for quite a while about his clothes, how Todd captured him, etc.  Audrey said that after they hung up Dawson and Cole jumped in the shower and were making plans how to make a trap and get one themselves.  All the while they had that nervous little giggle going on. 

Later that night we talked again and Dawson asked me to post a picture of Todd's leprechaun.  And when I went to take it, this is what I found.  An empty cage!  Sorry Dawson.  I guess his buddies must have come and helped him escape during the night.  Did you have any luck at your house?  We did find a couple of gold coins laying around though.



Third, has anyone used pigeon peas?  I bought a can because the name and the ingredient kind of made me laugh when they are put together.  I found a couple recipes.  I'll try it out and let you know.



Bonus thought:  My birthday was great.  Thanks to everyone for everything.  36 didn't seem as committed to 40 as 37 does.  Say it out loud.  See what I mean?  It doesn't really bug me, I just noticed that it sounded different.

Good job, Todd.

Cool highlighting trick, but I wouldn't be surprised if those smart little devils know about highlighting too.

It's time to find a new dentist.

Pigeon peas scare me I think.

Happy Birthday. Belated.

I think it's too funny that the boys were calling because Todd caught a leprechaun. Sariah was afraid to go to bed last night because someone told her that the leprechaun would come in the middle of the night and mess up her bedroom. I solved that problem though. I told her that he couldn't mess up her room because she beat him to it, and there was nothing left to mess up. She must have liked that answer because she then went to bed!

I've never understood any hype about March 17th. At all.
But when you get a couple little boys that are afraid of leprechauns it does add some meaning.
Good job Todd.
Not buying those peas.
