St. Patrick's Day

Even though we weren't quite as prepared this year, we had a great St. Patrick's day.   The boys made their leprechaun traps the night before St. Patrick's day.

Brodie's final product.  The cage on top drops down when the gold at the bottom is removed

Isaac's final trap

I had such good ideas for the leprechaun.  Unfortunately, I didn't execute them well enough.  Brodie came out of his room Tuesday morning crying.  He said he had seen the leprechaun's hand and it wasn't small.  It was a big hand and it took his gold.  He said it was very scary.  Apparently, he saw his mother's hand as she was hiding behind the foot of his bed.  Well, I had to tell him I was pretending to be the leprechaun.  He actually took the news better than I could have hoped.  He's done a great job with Isaac.  He just wants to make sure that I will act like the leprechaun again next year.

That naughty leprechaun

The leprechaun turned Isaac's hair green

and he turned the milk green

Isaac said the milk tasted like a leprechaun

 All in all it was a pretty great day!
