I'm not sure why the idea of a little man dressed all in green coming into our house at night and playing tricks doesn't scare the girls, because it scares me! Nonetheless, the girls really wanted to try and build a leprachaun trap so we went ahead with the plan. The trap has a trick top which collapses if a leprachaun steps on it - ensuring that the green guy is snared.
Emma declared that she was going to put the leprachaun in a "cage" if she caught it, which seemed to us to be missing the point, but oh well.
The next morning the girls excitedly got dressed, ready to see what kind of leprachaun they had caught. Instead, the critter left us a note to the effect of, "Ha ha, Good try, but you can't catch me!" And to their surprise, the leprachaun had turned their milk green!!! AND the little imp switched up all our coats so that they were in the wrong places. I tell you, there was some serious havoc in our house that morning!
