St. Patrick's Day is a BIG DEAL at our house. Each of the kids made a trap to catch a leprechaun. The girls spent an hour getting ready for the big event- the right PJ's, the right trap, the right outfit for school, etc.
There were no leprechauns in their traps the next morning- only a beanie baby. However, the leprechauns did write letters to everyone, made a mess of the house, left green candy and green gum and St. Patrick's Day cookies. Even their dad joined in in the fun- Chris made the greenest (lose your appetite) pancakes I have ever seen. Now, Braden is also ready for leprechauns! He has planned his trap for the last TWO Sundays. St. Patrick's Day is his second favorite holiday. Unfortunately, the leprechauns got one of Braden's shoes and was able to let the trapped Chief Leprechaun out. Better luck next year Braden.
I love that all your kids do traps for the Leprechauns! So cute. I need to remember these things so I can try them out on my kid (hopefully kids, someday). :)
