Did you get lucky?

Once again we tried to catch that tricky leprechaun, and once again we were tricked by him! We built a different trap this year....a leprechaun hat with a ladder with some fake gold at the top (rolos) which he would fall through when he reached to top. My favorite part of this trap was the sign Chase made all by himself which clearly stated :No Climen!!! (pretty good spelling right?) We knew that leprechaun would be sure to break that rule. But alas in the morning there was no leprechaun in the trap!! He had pulled that ladder on the inside and climbed out!! He had left us quite the mess! He dropped clover confetti and gold coins all over the house!! He left the kids a bag of special cookies with a note attached which read: "You didn't catch me so I won't be grantin' yer wishes, but because yer so sweet you get me leprechaun kisses!"
He dug into the bowl of lucky charms we left him...made a huge mess of them and only ate the marshmallows!!
Chase thought this was hilarious when he followed the trail of glitter to the bathroom to find that he had jumped on the toiled and peed in it! It turned the water green and had gold glitter floating on top.
He also spent some time in the kitchen climbing the fridge,
and turned our milk green!!!
After a very green morning (which started waaayy to early due to Chase's excitement) it was off to put our green shirts on. We wanted no pinchin at our house. Chase and Sadi tried on their leprechaun kisses(cookies) then gobbled them up!
Chase planned all day for a new trap next year!! Hope you all had a lucky St. Patty's day!

I love that he used your potty and not mine. How was that to clean any way?

Wow...how weird that our day was so similar. I guess great minds think alike (Hmmm...I mean we must have had the same sneaky little Leprechaun:)

So he turned the toilet water green by peeing in it...How did he turn the milk green? HHHHMMMMMMMMM. Nice work, MOM! You never cease to amaze me! Hope y'all are well!
