Wow, I'm behind. It's practically Easter, and I'm just now writing about Leprechauns. BUT, just for the record, they did come to the Thunell home this St. Patty's Day. My kiddies woke up to green colored toilet water (classy) and green milk in the fridge. So, we know that leprechauns have to use the restroom and eat. Joseph and Austin stared down at the green water in amazement, all the while my older girls were smiling and winking at me. so funny. That entire St. Patrick's Day Joseph couldn't stop talking about leprechauns.
"Where do they live?"
"Why did they come to our house?"
"Are they all green?"
That day, I was out working in the yard with my boys in-tow. In the evening, they went to get their baths while I finished up outside. Not 10 minutes later, here comes Joseph on the driveway, dripping wet, and totally nude. (remember. Nut House). He was so worried. He pulled up his foot, which had a tinge of green from the grass. He said, "Look! I have green on my foot! Kate said I am turning into a leprechaun!" smile.
That night we watched Disney's "Darby O'Gill and the Little People." It is the obscure little Disney movie (that I own. thank you very much) about leprechauns that made Sean Connery's debut. See? There was a good reason to watch it. After saying how good-looking that man was a couple times, my girls said to me, "But, not as good looking as Dad, right?" Right. My husband trumps Sean Connery any day of the week.
On a separate note, we have a new day spa around these parts. They furnish massages, nail polishing, a hair salon, and good conversation. It is located on Belmont Lane. Annie and Savannah are the owners/operators. Come by and check it out!
The last picture has nothing to do with anything, except that Joseph was so thrilled to have the same clothes in his closet as his Daddy. He went upstairs and picked out the blazers and brought them down. my boys.
p.s. Thank you for all the calls, notes, and thoughts. As always, you are too good to be true.

i LOVE seeing thunell pics. and the dripping kid comment--classic (and very normal around here) love you! it just won't be a trip to CA without seeing you guys (boo hoo)!
Kindred spirit...I love Darby O'Gill, except for the incredibly frightening banshee part. Your family is so cute...it would be such fun to live near you. I could always use a trip to "the spa".
The green toilet water...love it. We need all the class we can get around here! ;) You're so cute and refreshing!
I am in desperate need of a manicure.
I wonder if the spa will accommodate a Spanish Forkian who goes by Yo Yo Buzz?
Tell Jerry Lewis to make a leprechaun trap like ours and he'll be sure to catch one next year. Make sure and use a blue blanket to cover Adam because leprechauns can't see blue.
love it! can i come to the day spa?!
