Lepracons Day

My Girls Love Lepracons Day! We religiously read the night before St. Patricks day every day for like 3 weeks. So I got an idea from the book to make lepracon traps. So we did very late the night before, so they aren't way glamorous. The girls thought they were great, and were so excited to set the traps up in the playroom. So here are the traps:
Kenzie had to have the doll house blocking the playroom door, to make it look as if the lepracon was going into another house.
So after we got the girls in bed, we went downstairs and made a mess of the playroom and knocked the traps over and took the coin, and necklace. We left a box of lucky charms on the floor for the girls to find. That's a treat in itself because we rarely buy sugary cereal.

The girls were sad that the lepracon got away, but were excited to see a prize waiting for them!

We also bought the girls green necklaces, drew a shamrock on their cheeks, and gave them green earrings to wear for their green, so they wouldn't get pinched.  They ate their lucky charms for breakfast, and were ready to go to school.




The girls had set thier hearts on having pancakes for breakfast in hopes that a lepracon would turn them green. So I did that for lunch. That made the rest of their day! I should have had an all green dinner like my sister inlaw does for her family. I just didn't have the time or energy. Next year for sure! It was a great Lepracons day!
