The little green men are coming for you...

Claire came home from school yesterday, very worked up over leprechauns. I think she had convinced herself that they really exist and that they're out to get her. This is something like how she explained it to me.

Mom, every March, things keep happening to me like at school; I can't find my scissors anywhere! I looked in my desk and I asked everyone to look in theirs and I can't find them anywhere. I think leprechauns took them, I really do. And then at home, I keep losing my CD. Someone keeps taking it out of my CD player and hiding it! (*in this case, the leprechaun would be named William). I really think it's leprechauns doing this to me, because every March this stuff happens to me!

Seriously, she was so cute as she was getting worked up over this; I had to work really hard not to laugh. So while I was gone at Enrichment last night, the saga continued at home. Ryan told Claire that the reason the leprechauns weren't taking William's things from his room was because he had diapers in his room and leprechauns really hate diapers. So when I went to check on Claire, there was a diaper on the threshold of her room to ward off leprechauns and a diaper next to her pillow in case the one in the hallway didn't work. Thanks Ryan....
The other week, we had a friend, Saydee, come over and play with us. She is so sweet and her and William had a great time together. They played with Playdoh for a long time.

Apparently, William is hilarious, according to Saydee. He had her laughing the whole time.

One more random tidbit: after our scripture study, we were trying to remember how the tune went to the First Article of Faith and kept saying "We believe in..." over and over trying to get the tune right. Then William breaks out in song from across the room where he is playing, "We believe in the yellow submarine, the yellow submarine, the yellow submarine". That boy has Beatles on the brain!
