Leprechaun trap that is . . .
Design by G, future engineer. Or architect. Or stylist. Mamma and Daddy don’t do the kids’ projects for them in this house, by golly.
The leprechaun climbs up the gold coins and follows them until he falls in the can – the lid, of course, remains off until the leprechaun falls into the trap.
(Like the eyes? The child can make his giant eyeballs appear entirely white if he is so inclined. Creepy.)
Before building the trap G and I had this little exchange:
G: “Does the trap have to be really fancy to catch a leprechaun?”
M: “Depends on how smart the leprechaun is.”
G: “I hope I get a dumb one.”
And just to be obnoxious to all of my friends and family living where winter involves snow, this is what we do after school these days . . .
Amen,
D
P.S. As I’m in the office writing this and G is volunteering to read books if it means he can play a game on Daddy’s new iPad and R is trying to figure out what she can do to earn game time it occurs to me that our children talk just as loud as I do. Poor C.
