We went all out this year to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Here's a picture of the trap that Kelsie and Brandon made to try and catch the pesky little leprechaun we had hanging around our house! We all wore green of course. Brandon had to be convinced to wear it and also coached that it is "pinch" not "punch" someone if they're not wearing green. (Which was quickly followed by not really pinching anyone at all.) The leprechauns put green sprinkles in our chocolate-chip pancakes for breakfast and then left us alone for most of the day. We had corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes for dinner, along with Irish soda bread and freshly squeezed limeade. It turned out pretty good, except for the soggy cabbage. Everyone liked the corned beef, even though none of us really knew what it was! We ended the day eating green cupcakes with green frosting and sprinkles and mint chocolate chip ice cream. Next year I think we'll skip the corned beef and instead have a dinner that is all green. Hmmm. Makes me hungry just thinking about it!
Oh, and we set the leprechaun trap out before we went to bed in our last attempt to catch our friend. There was a note and 5 lucky bucks the next morning telling us better luck next year!Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Wow! What a cool trap! Too bad you weren't able to catch the little bugger! Maybe next year. How was watching the green river????
What a great trap! We can tell you two worked hard on it! We bet you came pretty close to catching a leprechaun!
What an amazing trap! Better luck next year...we didn't catch out leprechaun either. Very creative all the green food you ate! Were any of you left with green tinted skin from eating so much green???
Your kids are so creative! That trap is awesome! I'm sure you almost tricked that pesky little leprechaun! Better luck next year!
