We caught an apricot and spent the day cutting the green grass with kid scissors.
This year, we decided to catch a leprechaun.
Leprechauns and apricots, as you may know, are two entirely different creatures.
To catch a leprechaun, we needed all the Lego strength we could gather.
Police men with fire axes were positioned at the ready.
Empty containers of gum crammed full with tortilla chips.
Notes telling the leprechauns to "go in" were taped next to doors and windows.
And dangerous traps were disguised as animals and trucks and Lego rockets.
Once the traps were built and ready, magical green smiley faces were drawn on foreheads to protect us from the leprechauns that might pinch us (and wake us up) in the middle of the night.
We woke up and found that although our traps failed to catch a real life leprechaun, the leprechauns left us a little treat.
We love our leprechauns.
We celebrated our day with green shaves, green baths, broccoli, and splashing in puddles of water.
Over all - leprechaun day rocked.
