The Leprechaun Traps

Last night the kids put out some Leprechaun traps. Cami's had a ball of aluminum foil that was supposed to entice her Leprechaun up the ladder and then he would fall into the hole at the top of the box. Ian's trap was a hole in the ground that was surrounded by sticks. In the hole was a couple of screws and some peanut butter crackers.

Ian was very excited to find a piece of green cloth stuck to one of the sticks this morning, but Cami was disappointed that her Leprechaun was not in the box. The box however was torn like he struggled to get out, and the ladder steps were broken as well. Cami is going to try again tonight, even though she knows that Leprechauns only come out once a year (on St. Patrick's Day), but I told her that maybe he'll come back tonight now that he knows there are treats in our yard.
