For St. Patrick's Day this year the boys did their traditional Leprechaun Catchers. I loved Lincoln's that says "gold in here!"
He even spray painted some pieces of wood gold. Very tricky.
Palmer's had arrows and gold glitter glue leading an unsuspecting leprechaun into the trap
Hunters had a rope that the leprechaun would take to look at what was in the trap and then the scissors would cut the rope and he would be trapped.
McKay's had a skinny bridge to go out on and hopefully the leprechaun would fall off. I loved how every one of the boys had a story and had thought their traps all of the way through.
They also put out their shoes which we have done since they were small having confused St. Patrick's Day with St. Nicholas Day. It works for us and is too much a tradition to change now. The Leprechauns brought them all sorts of green goodies.
They also foiled all of their traps leaving their green footprints all over them.
As a special treat we bought Lucky Charms for breakfast the next morning. I don't usually buy sugar cereal so it was a big deal.
For dinner that night we had our traditional Irish Soda Bread and Irish Stew. We always love St. Patrick's Day!
