To catch a leprechaun....

Logan's kindergarten class's family project for March was to build a leprechaun trap.  So we hit the Dollar Tree and bought just about everything green he could find! We covered a box in glittery tissue paper, used window cling stickers of leprechauns to try to lure him in, and a butterfly net to capture him.  But alas, he did not fall for our trap but did leave us quite a mess!!


Lucky's note said, "Nice try, but I'm quick.  I left you a few surprizes! ~ Lucky"  And there were green footprints and glitter EVERYWHERE! 

Peyton was explaining the "itty bitty footprints" They were both just amazed at our leprechaun visit!

Logan tried following his path but at one point he went under the island and Logan just couldn't fit!

I think he was a little disappointed his trap didn't work but he was more excited about the visit and the stuff he left for us like a box of Lucky Charms! And Duffy got a bow on his collar. And and awesome rainbow of fruit!

Even Belle thought the footprints were cool.  Although after cleaning up Lucky's mess I think I will hang a "Please wipe your feet sign" for next year!!

And here's our Pinterest inspired treat! I was going to use bananas for the gold but because I prepared it the night before they would have been yucky the next day. And the kids were super excited about the "gold" that Lucky left them!!
