To Catch A Leprechaun

It has been a few years since I’ve “celebrated” St. Patrick’s day. This year I thought it would be fun for Ethen. We have done crafts and even TRIED TO CATCH A LEPRECHAUN!!!

Crafty Mc Crafters – check them out!

SHHHHHH! We have to be quite – we don’t want to scare the leprechaun away!!!

Ethen came up with this trap all by himself. We baited it with green Fruit Loops and a stick of mint gum (green of course).

Setting the bait

The next morning we found THIS!!!

The Lephrechaun ate through the box!

That sneaky leprechaun chewed right through the box!!! But he left Ethen some of his treasure, since he was caught after all! He even at the fruit loops but left the trash! I should have a stern talking to with him!

A gift from Lucky the Leprechaun

Hopefully next year we will have a stronger box so the little thing can’t get out! Until then – Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
