HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
Just a quick post to wish you all a very Happy St. Patrick's Day! The weather here is beautiful today, which makes me very happy for all the people participating in and attending the big parade in Manhattan. And for myself and my friend Barbara too as we make our trip into the city today.
I want to thank Carol @ Charli And Me for her wonderful idea of the Leprechaun Trap! Jayden was a little leery of actually trapping the Leprechaun, so he thought maybe we shouldn't make one. But I told him we could make it more of a Leprechaun vacation spot that the little guy could visit and maybe leave a few goodies for us. That idea he liked very much! ("Yeah, Umma, it's just called a Leprechaun Trap but we're not really going to catch one, right? He's just going to visit here.")
We thought of Irish things he might like, so we wrapped the box in green paper, and both Jayden and Mia had fun putting shamrock stickers on the box:
Jayden thought a rainbow and a pot of gold might make the Leprechaun pay us a visit:
And he also thought maybe green food would be a good idea:
(Looks like leprechauns like marshmallow and this one must really have a sweet tooth!)
Every few days the Leprechaun would leave us a little something, one day it was chocolate coins, and another day it was shamrock necklaces:
And over this past weekend at our St. Patrick's Day celebration he left a treasure trove:
I wonder what goodies he has in store for today?!

ReplyDeleteOh this is wonderful, Jayden and Mia must absolutely love it. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trap Eileen. In the first grade here, the kids are asked to make Leprechaun Traps, I've helped with my share, but all he left here was a pot of gold painted pebbles!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what the Easter Bunnie leaves! ♥...Wanda
DEar Eileen, Your little Jayden is just a doll! I love that picture ♥ It looks like all of you had quite a time with your trap.What fun!!! Please tell Jayden that Ryan tried to catch one two but all he found were some sheds of his green clothes. That tricky leprechaun left lucky charms all over the place! He also left a Saint Patrick's Day cake. You just never know what those little leprechauns will do :>) Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all of you and many many blessings ♥ p.s. Actually I thought it might have been you who mentioned the trap to me last year but I'm not sure. See I'm forgetful too :>)
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome wee leprechaun you have...And what fun they must have all had!!! What a grand grandmother you are!!! Cathy
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post. Hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea (though I don't think I'm gonna start this one personally)....Love the picture of Jayden!
ReplyDeleteI hope next year I remember to go to this exact blog post of yours...I want to do this! Love the idea and Love all the green. Very creative. Somehow I just spaced out on the big green holiday this year!
