Where's me gold?

On St. Patrick’s Day John, Erin and I decided to get together to work on the PCV newsletter that we are editors of. Because Erin and John claim some irish heritage, I felt compelled to participate in the celebrations while we tried working at the same time. This, of course, was not very successful, but it was fun nonetheless. Erin explained how she tried to teach about the tradition of St. Patrick’s Day at her school earlier that day, but encountering lots of cultural barriers had little success. Leprechauns, rainbows with gold at the end, four leaf clovers, and green beer are all hard to explain, and I imagine that upon hearing these rumors of catching little ugly men and being granted three wishes, every child scoured the village to look for this mythic creature. Here is a picture summary of our festivities:

-We toast to catching leprechauns (I am wearing a glove for some reason):

-In the spirit of St. Patty's Day i post the sign on my face (the leprechaun i drew is asking "where's me gold?!"):
