Here Little Leprauchan

Kaytlin's class assignment durring the week of St Patrick's was to build a Leprauchan trap. I've always wanted to catch one of those little boogers. Well Kaytlin and Daddy had devised a trap to do just that. Kaytlin came home on that Monday and gave me the guidelines. It was due in one week and was being graded on several different things. The first thing she did was sit down and draw a diagram of what she wanted. Of course she already had it in her head of what it should look like. Grandpa was very proud. As a kid I came home with my fair share of projects and he always made me put it on paper first. I hated that part. Kaytlin did much better than I ever did. Like I said, Grandpa was proud. Saturday was devoted to Kaytlin and Daddy working and building. They did awesome! We were all impressed. It even had gold coins inside to entise the little thing inside. Kaytlin's idea and Mommy found chocolate filled gold coins. It worked out great. I'm not sure the kids realize how lucky they are to have such a wonderful father. Hours spent building a leprauchan trap that I will never forget. Josh rocks! We even had a visit from a leprauchan in our backyard. As we were finishing our corned beef and cabbage on St. Patricks day I saw one of those things running across our back yard. Serriously! So I yelled to the kids and we all went running back there. Apparently he heard us coming and in his haste he dropped gold coins all over the back yard. Chocolate of course because he would never leave the real ones behind. Of course. That was an awesome day!
