St. Patrick's Day



Every year the kids build a Leprechaun trap and try to catch our pesky visitor Patty O'Mally who sneaks into our house and tries to steal our gold. So far, we have been able to catch every year and hold him hostage until he escapes at the end of March. Here are some pics of the kids building this year's trap. They put their heads together and decided to use the bottom of a cooler held up by a webkinz pet. The bait was some jewelery and coins from Chucky Cheese. Ha! The kids were thrilled to find Patty trapped the next morning, and we celebrated our victory by going for mint shakes.


The girls put the finishing touches on the trap so it would look pretty for Patty O'Mally. By this time, Jack was back in the Mancave playing video games...he was only about function rather than fashion. Ha!


Celebrating the next morning....GOTCHA!



Patty O'Mally gets lots of lovin while he stays with us...maybe that's the reason he comes back year after year...goodness knows, it can't be the GOLD!
