Logan turned St. Patrick's Day into a full fledged holiday in our house. I blame/credit his kindergarten teacher because she filled his head with all these stories about catching Leprechauns and getting their gold. You may remember last years trap attempts. This year he was at it again...the box, jar, can collecting started about March 1, designing took place off and on over the next few weeks and then of course there was the actual set up, the night before.
This trap used a gold painted rock as bait. The idea being that when that crafty leprechaun grabbed the gold, the box would fall and trap him. That engineering needed a little more testing.
This was a favorite. The sign out front says "Bank". The concept here is that those little green men will assume this is a real bank and simply leave their gold for safe keeping, duh!

And what's St. Patrick's Day without ye ol' potato trap
Here is Caden's attempt...camouflage is the word you are looking for, right?

So what was the result of all these fancy contraptions...let's see...
Those little elves are tricky! Most of the gold bait was nabbed but they left yummy treats!
After a few chocolate coins, we gobbled up some rainbow waffles and trotted off to school
We wrapped up our St. Paddy's Day celebration with Corned Beef and Cabbage a la Grandma. It was a tasty meal but apparently induced great thirst...
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
