Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The kids early this morning, disappointed that they didn't catch a leprechaun, but excited to see what he left them. Ethan was a little disappointed that he didn't leave a magic gold coin like he did last year.

Hailey and Ethan checking out what the Leprechaun did! What a mess, he knocked down a wall of their trap and climbed up the wall and back down again and left footprints all the way into the kitchen and into the fridge and dyed the milk green, they thought it was pretty cool and had to have green milk in their lucky charms for breakfast.


The Leprechaun left a little pile of coins underneath a rainbow for each kid


This is what it looked like last night after we got done decorating



Here is the trap that the kids built to catch the leprechaun. They were hoping he would see the Lucky Charms and want to eat them, so he would walk up the stairs and not realize that the wax paper would fall through and he would fall and get stuck down in. Little did they know that it wasn't going to catch that darn leprechaun.


Ethan, Hannah, Hailey(cousin), and Carly(cousin), just before going to bed. They were so excited to wake up and see if they caught a leprechaun. Epecially Hailey, she thought for sure that she was going to catch him, and she was going to take it home and take care of him.
