St Patricks Day Fun :)




We had a really fun St Paddy's day - Boston and Scarlett set up traps for the leprechaun's. My mom sent us some green fruitloops to set out as baid as well as some green strawberry baskets to use as the traps. I asked Boston if he wanted the traps set up in his bedroom and he said 'No, because they will wake me up'. So we set the traps (3 total) up out in the loft area of our house. We made a trail with the fruitloops to lure the leprechans in and then inside the trap Boston put a green car or truck in there, because he thought that they would like to take a drive in one of them.
- Andy put Boston to bed and I heard him ask him if the leprechauns were the size of boogars hahah and a bunch of other questions and comments about trapping them and getting gold. So after he went to sleep - I cut up a bunch of green foot prints out of paper and picked up the fruitloops and put the green foot prints in their place - then drove the green car and truck over by Boston's door so that he would see them first thing in the morning when he got up. In the traps I left big piles of pennies.
He woke up and thought it was the coolest thing.. he was still finding green leprechaun foot prints by the afternoon and he kept commenting on how they drove his cars around and how funny he thought that was. Then he put all the pennies into a pile on the coffee table like it was the coolest thing ever.
It was really fun!! Scarlett thought that it was pretty silly to see her little brother run around picking up green foot prints and pennies all the while laughing and giggling like a crazy man haha :)
It was a really great st paddy's day - I had to work that day and I did in fact remember to wear green :)
