Leprechauns

A week or so before St. Patrick's Day, Caleb came home from school talking non-stop about Leprechauns.


Little did I know Leprechauns’ come to your house on St. Patrick’s Day, make mischief and leave money.

For the next week or so, Caleb looked at everything for things the Leprechauns did.

Things that had moved to new homes six months ago were suddenly noticed and the leprechaun was blamed. Messes there were made my little boys quickly were blamed on the leprechaun.

Suddenly the house was full of ideas for building leprechaun traps!

Every morning we were checking for leprechauns or evidence of leprechaun mischief.

I ordered a couple of St. Patrick’s Day books about leprechauns, we learned about the folk tales of leprechauns and what mischief and messes they make.

St. Patrick’s Day did come and while Caden and Caleb were away staying at their Aunt Tanda and Uncle Arts house, the leprechauns came and made a BIG mess!

Elinore was a cute little baby for her very first St. Patrick's Day too.
