Happy Leprechaun Day!!!

The whole Jacobs family worked together on this leprechaun trap and I think it turned out pretty cute!


We were going to build a ladder out of sticks, but we don't have any sticks (weird, I know).  So, we used the staircase from Grace's dollhouse.  Grace also made the leprechaun a picture (it was just an excuse to use more glitter).


Now, that the trap was set, we decided to invite Kenny, Beth, and Lily over for a dinner/mini St. Patty's Day party.  Grace set the kids' table and was very proud of her design!


On the kids' menu were these super cute leprechaun quesadillas and rainbow fruit kabobs.  I found the idea here.


"It is 'licious!"


Carter had a shamrock quesadilla and he actually ate it and a couple of leprechaun hat quesadillas! SHOCKING!


We had steak and baked potatoes...that's Irish right?  After dinner, we went outside to play.


When we came back inside, Freckles O'Rainbowchaser had come back!
He made messes again!



He played his usual tricks!


Carter was not so sure about how his puppy got up there!


And, what do you know?  We caught Freckles' sock...again!


Lily and Grace were super excited to check the trap and see if we had caught a leprechaun!


Mr. O'Rainbowchaser was not in the trap, but he did leave us some "treasures!"


"WOO-HOO!!!"


Then the kids pretended to be leprechauns...too funny and pretty cute!


Lastly, we had "Magical Shamrock Potion" for 'zert. (Put a scoop of lime sherbet in a glass, pour in some Sprite, and add some rainbow sprinkles!)


We had a fun time and hope you have a Happy Leprechaun Day!!!
