St. Patty's

We had the leprechauns visit us at Grandma Salway's house because we were there visiting while Eric's brother's family was in town. Hayden made a trap (found HERE) a few days before so that he could catch a leprechaun. Every one knows that if you catch a leprechaun he has to take you to his treasure, but if he falls for your trap, but still gets away, he has to leave a part of his treasure behind. The kids set up the trap with bait (pennies) leading from the front door to the trap.

When they woke up, they found that they had leprechaun kisses all over! The milk was green, there were gummy worms in their cereal and shoes. What a silly leprechaun!



The leprechaun did fall in the trap and left a bunch of gold coins and lots of green and gold goodies. She also left a note saying,"Nice Try! Signed, Linda Leprechaun." We'll catch a leprechaun next year, for sure!!
