Rose and David made leprechaun catchers last night. They taped a lucky penny to the bottom of a shoebox in order to lure the leprechaun in. Then they decorated it with shamrocks and rainbows and left it propped open with a chopstick. This was all done with the curtains drawn and the fire lit because we were playing "olden days."

When we got back from school today, oh my goodness those crazy leprechauns. They had rearranged the couches, put the kid table where the grown-up table usually is. They had definitely not been caught in the traps, but the traps where on top of the bookshelf. They had left cards and candy and little shiny shamrocks.

But they weren't done. They made the crispy chicken green and of course, we had green rice krispie treats.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
