The Leprechaun Came!

LepBoxThis St. Patrick’s day tradition is a great hit at our house. The boys build a box to catch a leprechaun. This year they glued clover to the outside of the box. They didn’t catch a leprechaun but he left them a pile of gold (which was much larger before I took the photo) and a note that must be read aloud in an Irish accent, of course. Which my hubby does perfectly.

I came by today at the break of dawn,

Alas, you didn’t catch me, The Leprechaun.

Nice try, two Laddies! You were very bold.

For that I leave you a pile of gold.

‘Til next year,

The Leprechaun

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
