Two days before St. Patrick's day a leprechaun decided to play some tricks on us. The first thing he did was turn our toilet water green and stole Carson's green crayons. The next day the little devil got into some paint and walked on my bathroom mirror!
Poor Carson almost passed out in fear. Silly boy.
We decided to set up a trap on St. Pats eve and try and catch this little trouble maker. Bay made a pot of gold and we hung it from a dowel and placed it under the lid of a shoe box. When the sneaky leprechaun grabbed the pot of gold, it pulled the dowel down and maked the lid close.
In order to get the leprechauns attention the kids made a trail of gold fish that lead from the stairs to the trap.
When the kids got up on the morning of St. Patrick's day they ran down to see if our trap had worked. Unfortunately the little bugger got away! But he did leave the kids some green and gold treats and of course some Lucky Charms. I think he felt bad for tricking us for two days.
Even though he probably felt bad for us, he decided to play a few last tricks. He tied the kids shoe laces together.
And he tied some rope from the fridge handles all the way to the pantry so we couldn't open the doors.
And yet again he played in some green paint and left some more footprints.
We will get you next year you sneaky leprechaun!!
