He got away...again!

Well I had forgotten all about getting a trap ready to catch a leprechaun, but last night just about when we were getting in bed, Jaygen reminded me. Holy cow...kids remember everything!!! So we gathered what we could find and made a little trap. We couldn't find any gold for the bait so we used Lucky Charms cereal. Leprechaun really like Lucky Charms, right?! Jaygen and Pace for sure remembered that last year our trap didn't catch a leprechaun so Jaygen was certain that we would get one this year! When the boys woke up, they all had a green clover kiss on their cheek from a leprechaun and found green paper and gold candy all over the floor. The boys ran passed all that (except Briggs who started eating the candy right away) and went straight to the trap. They were so bummed to find the Lucky Charms gone but no leprechaun in the trap. Jaygen is still trying to figure out how the leprechaun could have got the cereal out without the trap falling on him. Jaygen said that our trap was "horrible". Then the boys found green water in the toilet, and we had green pancakes and green milk for breakfast. They loved it. I was sending Jaygen out the door to school when he said "wait, I need this washed off my face." He is obviously too cool for that now!! :) I hope I remember next year before we are ready for bed about all this so I am more prepared for the excitement. And good luck to us making a trap that will catch a leprechaun!!
