How to catch a Leprechaun
We always try to make the holidays (even small ones) special for the kids. They love it and it gives them fun memories. For St. Patrick's Day we started the day off with green pancakes after finding green clothes for everyone to ware. We also had an extra guest with us for the first part of the week, Kaylah who is a friend of Elizabeth who stayed with us while her parents celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary :)
The kids really thought the green pancakes were neat and were surprised again when they tasted just like normal pancakes.
Joseph was just happy to have food. He loves food and sometimes I think he spends most of his day eating!
Elizabeth and Kaylah decided that they wanted to try and catch a Leprechaun today so together they constructed this Leprechaun trap.
It was complete with steps and a golden sticker on top of a paper towel over a cup to lure the poor unsuspecting Leprechaun.
After playing outside for awhile the girls decided to come in and check their trap. To their amazement it had worked . . . well almost.
The Leprechaun had been there but escaped leaving behind some treats and a note.
In case you can't read it, the note reads "I am too fast!!! You will never catch me!!! Your trap was the best try today, so I left you treats!!! Enjoy!!!" The girls were so excited and shared their golden wrapped candy with the rest of the kids.
