Who trashed our room?

Today we had a visit from a "leprechuan" who completely trashed our room! He/she did leave green beads, gold coins, green gatorade, green candy, and green pencils. That was nice! Also the visit did prompt a conversation about the history of St. Patrick' Day and it's connection to chistianity. Who knew we could have fun AND learn? Enjoy pictures from today!
