Leprechaun Hunters

My Brinnley Beth has been talking about her plans to catch a Leprechaun since the beginning of March. Her and her friend Ethan talked on the bus each day about how they were going to catch one. The plan started out with setting a trap outside and sleeping next to it. It continued to evolve, but it was an ever present topic of conversation. As St. Patrick's Day approach I began to wonder what we were going to do to help this little lady's dream come true. Finding a Leprechaun isn't easy, trust me. The day before I set out on a mission. I wasn't coming home without a little green friend! I went to Target and found this beauty. Awesome!

So before bed we helped the girls put warm water into a bowl, because of course Leprechauns like to take warm baths just like the rest of us, and set it outside.

When we woke up the next morning we ran outside to see if our trap had worked! Yep! Our little green friend was enticed by the warm water and when he entered into the water was sucked up into the globe and he is inside, ours forever. He even left us a bucket of treasure. What else but chocolate! We had three very thrilled kiddos! Brinn had to print a picture of him so she could take it to school and show all her friends. (Hope we don't have parents out there mad at us!) It was a pretty special day for us!
