She was really dead set on catching a leprechaun. I asked her what she was going to do with the leprechaun if she did catch it? She said she was going to "keep it for a pet and scare Zoe with it".... She really wanted to put her trap outside "in case the leprechaun can't get in the house". I convinced her that if she put it outside the box will blow away and that leprechauns can get inside, they are magical. So we put it right inside the front door. THEN she set other shoe boxes all across the doorway inside in case he got past the first one....
When we checked the traps this morning, the one out by the front door was turned to the side and there was a string of beads half and half out of it. There were beads on the door coming into the house. All the other shoe boxes had the lids off and were tossed all around with more beads. In the kitchen there were beads on Lyla's chair and a container with a St. Patricks Day donut inside. On the lid it said "Nice Try! You can't catch me!"
Lyla was so excited! She said we did a really good trap! We got his attention and he got in our house! Next year we will have to put more boxes all over the floor then we will catch him for sure!
After her donut we got her ready for school!
I call my look today "St. Patty's work casual - aka - BORING!"
