St. Patrick's Day

Every St. Patrick's Day, a leprechaun visits our house.  We always try to build a trap for him and he ends up doing something mischievous.

This year Carter decided to build a trap on his own.  He spent almost a week building it and it took up a lot of our open space between the family room and kitchen.


The box is the trap.  I didn't really get to look inside but there was supposedly a frog dressed like a leprechaun to attract him, a jail, and lots of tape for the leprechaun to get stuck to.  Carter also set up carnival type games outside the trap so the leprechaun could have some fun.


Carter also set up scenes with some toys for the leprechaun to enjoy.


Carter wrote out two sets of questions for the leprechaun to answer.



The "leprechaun" was very tired this year and ended up not doing much mischief.  Instead of leaving any of his gold, he left this telescope from this toy stash :)


He did answer all of Carter's questions.



And left green footprints all along Carter's trap.


He also made the dinosaurs attack each other, turned around all the Star Wars characters, and moved trees on top of the mountains.




Maybe next year the leprechaun won't be so tired and do some fun things like he has the last couple of years (2013 and 2014).
