Happy St. Patricks Day

I thought we had followed all the steps
 

Step #1. make a leprechaun trap.
 complete with a ladder, promises of gold & a hidden trap door.

Step #2 make delicious rainbow cupcakes to further entice the wee Irish lad

Step #3 go to bed with one eye open

Well, no such luck. the kids woke up with a trail of clover leading to the so called trap

 He escaped! he was nice enough to leave some yummy treasure & a note

                         

             He was in such a hurry, he left his hat.

                                          Enjoying the gold

                             thanks leprechaun

Some things we have learned for next year

#1. build a taller trap

#2. Disguise my handwriting a little better.

"mom, this looks like your writing, but I know you couldn't have rolled it up so small!"

#3. make a better leprechaun hat.

"mom, I know their hats are harder & have a gold metal buckle, are you sure you didn't make it?"

for a week straight Porter was thinking of ways to catch the leprechaun & how old he has to be before he can go to Ireland.

I love how into this holiday he was.
