St. Patrick's Day...

So Violet decided that she was going to make a trap to catch a leprechaun... hahahaha

Of course this was decided at about 7 pm on Friday... which means Mom had to think fast on this one to see how it would all work out.



Violet covered a cardboard box with paper and created a "for sale to leprechauns" sign, complete with clovers adorning it. Then she created a playground for the leprechaun out of tinker toys, cause come on - who can resist?? Finally, she left a trail of fake gold coins to trap him in his house.



When morning rolled around, there was no leprechaun to be found. But he left something behind - HIS CLOTHES!!! And in his pocket? A teeny tiny golden key - probably the one he used to get into the house in the first place! ooooooo!!!!


So if you are out and about and happen to see a little naked leprechaun running around, let him know that his clothes are safe and sound!! :)

that's fo weird because i saw this leprechuan at a bar across the street from us in normal clothes complaining about how he had to escape this trap and the only way he could do it was to take his clothes off. he was pretty wasted. i drove him to the edge of the forest.
