Leprechaun Traps

Isaac's class made leprechaun traps for St. Patrick's Day. We thought it was a fun idea, so Josiah and Olivia made one for home. Ours looked a little more homemade than the one we made for Isaac. But Josiah and Olivia were very proud of it.

The leprechaun climbed up the fire truck ladder to try and reach the shiny silver (we didn't have any gold on hand, so silver foil had to do). He fell into the trap that we had set up.

But he escaped, leaving a trail of foil pieces.
Since he thought we were pretty clever, he left each kid a pack of gum behind.

Isaac and his class had Kite Day.

Jays said that Isaac ran and ran, only to take a water break here and there.

Isaac wanted "JUST Dad." to come to this special day.

Here is the trap we made with Isaac. The leprechaun climbed up the ladder, but fell through the top of the hat because it was made of felt. He didn't stay trapped, but left gold coins behind for all of the class.

Wow! I had never heard of a Leprechaun trap before. It's so cool! Isaac, you're really looking very much like your Mumzie in this picture. I sure do love the Wright family and can't WAIT to see them!!!!

Jay did not care for the leprechaun trap idea. Do all Christian holidays have to have a sneaky thing in our house?? hahahaha He didn't use those words. But the boys were SO into it. Fun.
