Will We Catch Him???

This year's model was an updated and improved upon last year's model. First, we discussed what Leprechauns like...gold! Then, we brainstormed other things that might draw their attention like rainbows and the color green. We also talked about how we should make the trap operate. James worked out all of the kinks to make sure once the leprechaun grabs the first pot of gold to move on to the second pot of gold located further under the trap, the string attached to the first pot will yank the "gold" marker over setting the trap off! I think his idea just might work this time!
Amelia helped Mommy by adding all of the camouflage green roughage around the sides and top. Then she found all of the green "stepping stones" to help make the path up to the trap! Nice work, Sweat Pea! We also talked about the size of the Leprechaun (thumb size) and what would we do if we caught one this year? Amelia replied, tell him to "give everyone back their gold!" James said he would look at him and talk to him and then let him go!
They are both excited, yet once again a little apprehensive about the real possibility of capturing a pint sized, mischievous little creature!
