Is he in there?

Wanted.... Suspect is tricky, naughty, and considered to be the most allusive of creatures. There is speculation as to the size of this suspect. He has a beard and a green suit and top hat. He is attracted to shiny objects and a certain cereal. There will be a reward if found and caught. WARNING! He may play tricks!

I hope everyone had a fun St. Patrick's day. We did. We don't really celebrate this holiday but today on the way home from swimming at the gym Little D asked if we could try and catch a Leprechaun. I told him that maybe after dinner we could. So at 5pm here I am whipping up a Leprechaun trap. I found this trap idea on Family Fun's website. And no matter what Big J thinks, I knew that saving these lemonade containers would come in handy.

So in about 15 mins this is what we came up with.


Here is the sign that we used to trick that naughty Leprechaun into our trap. Cause everyone knows that they love to do things that are against the rules.


This is our bait. Lucky Charms of course.



We set our trap at the top of the slide, and went inside to peek out the blinds and wait. Later we saw that the bait was gone and went out to investigate. Little A reached the top of the slide first and was scared to look in. When Little D got up he looked and found that there was no Leprechaun but instead a note that read, "He, He, He you can't catch me!" and a gold coin.

Then Little A found more coins leading away from the trap. We decided that he must have gotten a hole in his pocket and as he ran away the coins were falling out. We followed the trail that lead to a hole in our fence.



Here is our loot! We decided that next year we will make a better trap and try again.
