The Trap Has Been Set...

Ana has been begging me for days to help her build a leprechaun trap, so today was the day, the final chance to get it done before they arrive. And she was so cute about it. She didn't want it to be just any trap, it had to be "tricky". So we thought and we searched,and finally came up with one that she was sure would catch her a little green man. So this is how it went down...
We created the bait, gold of course...

Added an obstacle, because she only wants to catch an adventuresome one...

Embellished with a rainbow, because we all know that leprechauns can't resist a rainbow...

We set the trap! That little bugger better tread lightly, or he'll be Ana's for sure...

And here is the finished product, a highly sophisticated rock climbing wall, trap door snare. Sure to catch even the most clever little 'chaun...

Good luck, Ana!!

The next day:
So, the leprechauns were a lot trickier and smarter than Ana anticipated. They ripped every rock off her climbing wall, and swiped every last piece of gold without falling through the trap door. Oh well, she's already planning a more sophisticated trap for next year.

They did leave a few things behind though. Leprechauns have a really soft spot for cute kids, and can't take off without leaving them some souvenirs...

And they leave a kiss on every naughty kid that they see, in hopes that it will help them make better choices...


Hayden discovered that they made a pit stop before jumping out our bathroom window...

Who knew they have green pee?!?
