Leprechaun Traps

This year the boys got ready for St. Patrick's Day. They wanted to catch a leprechaun so they could ask him for a pot of gold. They tried to make boxes into traps. They decorated the traps with a leprechaun's favorite things....rainbows, 4-leaf clover, and green. They even baited their traps with Lucky Charm marshmallows.



They set their traps up underneath the kitchen table. The next morning they ran out to check their traps and found a note from the leprechaun. He said they'd have to try harder next year. He thanked them for the marshmallows and left them each a gold dollar for their trouble. Caleb helped me make leprechaun milk and green french toast. I guess it was a lucky day since I usually don't make big breakfasts unless it's on the weekend or for dinner.
