[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember waking up one Saint Patrick's day when I was young and finding that our milk had been turned green. My mom put on a huge show and said the leprechauns must have done it. I remember being soooo excited about it. She was the same way with all the other holidays. Now even though I'm 24, she still puts presents under the tree on Christmas and makes them from Santa. [/quote]

This reminded me that my mom used to set up the most amazing easter egg hunts for us. They'd start with a clue for each of us hidden with our dyed eggs and then we'd have to follow the string of clues all over our house until we found our basket. Each of the three of us would have our own trail of clues, and each clue was a rhyming riddle--it must have taken her forever to think of all of them and set everything up.

She also threw great birthday parties for me as a kid. There were always really unique games--one time she created a whole maze with different colors of yarn, each kid got the end of one string of yarn and we had to go all over the house unwinding it to find a prize at the end. Again--it must have taken forever to set it up, she would have had to crawl around and under furniture, etc. [/quote]
