“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”
Dr. Seuss

Watch out Little Leprechaun!

We are in serious need of some GOLD!The kids have big plans for it...some goes to Grandma's, Disneyland of course, they have talked a lot about building their own castle! There is only one catch...we have to catch the little slippery Leprechaun first! So, we came up with a plan this year...a trap!!!

We cut a hole out in the top of a chocolate milk container (you could also use an oatmeal canister). Then we covered it in glue and felt.

Then we made some fake gold (painted foil) and rolled them into balls! We put them on top and made a ladder out of some sticks!



The only thing left to do is put a little sign telling the Leprechaun not to climb up...they love to break rules!
Hopefully the Leprechauns don't read my blog!!!
