Can't Catch Me!

I am wondering what I have started!? Jaygen had been really curious about leprechauns this year and wanted to know all about St. Patrick's Day, so I decided to try an idea that I saw. We made a leprechaun trap for family home evening to capture the leprechaun that would visit our house this year. The trap had a trap door on the top and fake gold as our bait to put on it that would lure the leprechaun in. Then Jaygen put it in a special spot that for sure the leprechaun would find it in the night. Both Jaygen and Pace were so excited to go to bed that you would have thought it was Christmas! To their surprise when they woke up the next morning the leprechaun had been here....but got away. The leprechaun took enough time while he was here though to leave scraps of geen paper all through our house and turn the water in the toilet green. He even hid some chocolate gold coins for the boys in the bath tub. I don't know for sure what Jaygen is thinking of St. Patrick's Day now, but he could not believe the leprechaun got away. He has already planned what to do for the trap next year!!! :)
