For the second year in a row, we've been skunked by our little, tiny, tricky friend.
We found concrete evidence that he had been here and escaped.
And though we did not trap him, he left us a little pot of gold.
It's been reported that Colton was also visited and out-witted by a leprechaun this morning. However, he seems to have been visited from a little man from a much wealthier lineage.
You see, even leprechauns come from varying social and economic situations.
Upon waking up in their two story house, they found that their little visitor had moved the tunnel and left a trail, not of his escape, but to a larger pot of gold and treasures behind their curtains. There were green necklaces, golden coins, mint gum, and a variety of other delicacies.
Spencer was "green" with envy.
Some day he'll understand that the same leprechauns that visit trailers are not the same that visit real houses.
And though our pot of gold was little and only filled with chocolate, our Leprechaun seemed to have some spunk and street smarts. And while Spencer was left wondering why he didn't receive any green candy necklaces, Colton was wondering why his Leprechaun wasn't cool enough to bust through his trap, leaving a hole.
And the moms and dads are left wondering, "What will we have to do next year?"

I love this tradition! Isn't it true, not all leprechauns are the same!
How fun is that?! You guys are the coolest moms on the planet! We have issues with the tooth fairy, definitely a different tooth fairy from different economic situations...that's for sure. :-)
Okay this made me laugh because last year they did this at Lilly's preschool and Stephen (engineer), was going to help her build a trap. He came home from Home Depot with a distraught little girl, a mouse trap, and gold spray paint. We had to re-work his unescapable trap to a more leprechaun friendly trap.
That is so neat you are doing it with your kids at home, I am amazed...seriously amazed!
That's just awesome!!! You are too cool! Lenny the Leprechan decided to visit our house too late and there was NOTHING left ANYWHERE. :( Maybe next year I can plan better.
I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! Cute traps and goodies! I hope I remember it next year for my boys! And I LOVE your blog! So fun to see our kids just being kids with similar antics.
