Our Leprechaun visit!

Two days before St Patrick's Day, Wesley decided he wanted to build a leprechaun trap.  All on his own he planned, and built quite an impressive trap.  He enlisted the help of his brothers to find green objects though out the house to use.  Normally, we don't do much for St. Patties day, but Wesley went to so much work I just HAD to do something fun for him,  Luckily, I had a stash of items I bought at the dollar store in my closet that I was going to put out for decoration anyways.  I made little leprechaun pants that got stuck in the trap.  Leprechauns are hard to trap, but Wesley's trap was so good, it caught the leprechaun, and his pants got stuck in the trap!  He also left green foot prints, and some gold and other objects.  Seeing Wesley's face that morning was priceless.  His face just lit up when he realized his trap really worked, and he giggled so hard when he found the Leprechauns' pants! Wesley was comparing the pants to the size of the footprints on the toilet, and was wondering why the footprints were so much bigger than the pants, ha ha ha.  Chase, however, was a little spooked by the fact that the Leprechaun used the toilet.  Chase refused to use that bathroom for about two weeks.  I think he thought the leprechaun was going to just out of the toilet.  It was really fun though, and its moments like these that make life so much fun!!  :-)
