He Got Away Again!!!

My boys love St. Patrick's Day!! They are always making big plans about how they are going to catch the leprechaun. This year Jaygen kept saying he wanted to make an elevator that would trap the leprechaun. Well, okay Jaygen...what ever...I have no idea how to make an elevator that would catch a leprechaun. So my boys came up with something else instead. I was actually so proud of them because the idea was all their own and they made it all on their own. Jaygen drew a rainbow and then they crumpled up yellow paper to look like gold. They put the "gold" on a plate under the rainbow and put sticky tape around the gold. The plan was that the leprechaun would see the gold and when he went to grab it he would step on the tape and get stuck. When I saw what they had rigged up I was totally laughing. Good job boys...too bad he got away again!!!!

Before the leprechaun got away, he played some tricks on the boys like always. He turned the toilet water green, turned the milk in the fridge green, scattered green paper all over our house, and then gave them a shamrock kiss on their cheeks while they are sleeping. It is so fun watching the boys when they wake up in the morning and see everything the leprechaun has done! Then to top everything off, we have green pancakes for breakfast. We always have a fun St. Patrick's Day!!!

I love the trap your boys made. So cute!! Meg was telling me that the Leprechaun put green paper all over your house. Maybe next year I'll do more than at the last minute remember to put some green on my kids.
