This year the kids had so much fun with St. Patrick's Day. I think it might be one of Evan's favorite holiday's since everyone wears his favorite color. We made the BEST shamrock suckers (thanks for the mold Grandma)! Evan learned about leprechauns at school so we decided to try and make a trap and catch one of our own. It was not very sophisticated and so Limric the Leprechaun got away, but he did leave the kids lots of gold coins! That leprechaun caused mischief all over! For example, he took all Evan's clothes out of his drawer and threw them all over the room. Then Limric put a loaf of bread in Evan's drawer and some oranges in Lorelai's jewelry box. He put jewelery in the fridge and dyed our water green! He tied knots in our socks and tied Lorelai's clothes together. Then Limric the Leprechaun turned all our pictures sideways. What a silly guy. Since he left us a four leaf clover and chocolate coins everywhere he caused mischief it was easy to tell who had caused all the trouble. I guess we'll try to catch him again next year!
The bait.
Our trap and the "leprechaun" footprints the kids put out to lead the leprechaun to the trap. Evan actually traced his own feet and then cut them out.
Reid didn't look around to see all the mischief. He was a little preoccupied by the chocolate.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
