Unlucky again!

We once again took a shot at catching that leprechaun on St. Patty's Day and once again we didn't trick him, but he tricked us.  Chase and Sadi found the perfect trap (or at least we thought so).  What leprechaun wouldn't want to stop in for a quick drink from the tap?  Although there was a clear sign posted which read Don't go in!!  Chase was very proud of his sign and confident this was gonna be the year.
In the morning the kids found a lucky sock full of green, gold, and rainbow treats outside their bedroom doors.
There was no leprechaun in our trap, he had lassoed his way out!  Inside the trap was a clue to send the kids running around the house looking for his gold.
At the end of their rainbow run they found a treat filled with gold nuggets.  For Sadi this "chocolate" gold may have been better than real gold.
We also had a very lucky meal.  We had St. Patty's Pancakes with Pot of gold eggs, rainbow on a stick, with chocolate O' Henry (hot cocoa), topped with clouds (marshmallows), and leprechaun dust (green sprinkles). 

It was a fun pinch proof day, hope none of ya got pinched!

Our Leprechaun escaped us as well, much to Emmrey's dismay...although I am not sure what she plans to do with the little guy if we ever catch him:} Looks like you all had a fun day...lots of cute ideas!!
