Last night Preslie and Hunter set out traps so they could catch a Leprechaun. It cracked me up! Preslie's trap was a jar with a potato inside to lure the little guy. Hunter's trap was a shiny shamrock coin under a precariously balanced box. They went to bed excited as if it was Christmas Eve.
Dax and I woke up this morning to shouts from the other room...
"Hunter's trap is down!"
"There's a leprechaun hat in here!"
"Look at the jelly beans in my jar!"
Confused, I dragged myself out of bed to find a green hat with prizes and candy inside, green jelly beans in the place of Preslie's potato, and Hunter's trap down to suggest that a Leprechaun was inside. The kids did NOT know what to do. They were freaking out trying to decide if they should lift the box or not. Then we turned the box and saw a Leprechaun-shaped hole in the side...
As Hunter was getting ready for school he said, "We'll probably have a St. Patrick's Day party at school today."
"I don't think so, buddy. St. Patrick's Day isn't that big of a holiday," I said. Considering the events of the past 20 minutes, I knew he didn't believe me.
After school, Preslie came home with a cute shamrock she'd made.
She didn't know how lucky she really was because it is indeed a GIRL!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from all SIX of us!
