Not so lucky...

Again, the boys tried to catch themselves a Leprechaun, and again they were not successful. Despite another excellent attempt, those tricky Leprechaun's outsmarted the boys again. However, he did loose a some of his gold.

Nicholas sat down on Wednesday night with a pencil, his thinking cap, and a piece of paper to plan out this years trap. He came up with a pretty good plan! The "tish you paper" covered up the wooden steps and the olive can. And of course there is a wooden pot of gold (which later was revised into a plastic container with dark grey cardstock wrapped around it and stuffed with gold tissue paper).



The plan went into effect Saturday evening.



And in case you can't make out the background...it's a rainbow with a whole bunch of Leprechaun's going towards the "gold". That was to throw the real Leprechaun off of the trick.
And while the boys completed their trap, Elizabeth slept....for a full 13 hours. What? You don't think that looks comfy? LOL-of course we moved her to her bed where she slept the night away!
