The Little Leprechaun

This little leprechaun was at it again.

He's been the first one awake for several days in a row.  He often comes and crawls in bed with us or one of his siblings.  He might pull several books off the bookshelf to browse through while the house is quiet.  Or he might have a morning like this one.

1: Daddy comes downstairs first to find Henry atop a stool he had pulled over near the coffee maker.  He had several coffee filters spread out all over the counter and was filling them with the used coffee grounds from yesterday's brew.

2: Lily wakes up and comes upstairs to eat breakfast.  When she sits down at her spot, she finds last night's homework colored all over.

3: Mason wakes up, eats his breakfast, and is about to get dressed when Mama reminds him that he did not do a very good job putting away his clean clothes the night before.  They are strewn all over the place and the drawers are all pulled open.  Mason almost starts crying as he adamantly insists that Henry emptied his dresser this very morning.

4:  Nora groggily comes to the kitchen holding a re-useable container full of blueberry pancakes.  "This," she says in a confused voice," was next to my pillow...?"  One can only assume.

Our Henry sure adds some excitement to life!
