Saint Patrick's Day 2014

Saint Patrick's Day drew near and the kids were super excited about catching a leprechaun this year.  It seems like it was all they could talk about...catching a leprechaun, keeping all his gold, and how he would be their friend and live in their rooms.  (I know, not traditional leprechaun lore, but they have active imaginations. :)

We spent Sunday morning creating our leprechaun traps.  They weren't quite as intricate as last year, but we were on a deadline.

Crazy bedhead going on here...
Unfortunately, even their best efforts at creating leprechaun traps failed to actually catch a leprechaun.  The kids have determined that we have a regular family leprechaun that comes to our home each Saint Patrick's Day because he seems to leave the same trail of footprints, a few gold coins, and a box of  Lucky Charms after evading their traps.  We think we like the little guy.  He isn't one of those chaos-causing green men.  Thank goodness!

My favorite little leprechauns.
