Gearing up for St. Patrick's Day!

We started out with reading the 2 books in the picture below.  
The Night Before St. Patrick's Day was fun to read.  
The brother & sister make traps in hopes to catch a Leprechaun.


We then decided to put our Fruit Loop cereal to good use once again and make rainbows with a pot of gold at the end.  
My youngest would much prefer to just eat them.  
She likes to find excuses to eat them like when 2 are stuck together.



Lastly we put together a Leprechaun trap.  It's not complete yet we still need to build a ladder for the Leprechaun to climb to the top where he will fall through our grassy covered hole.  
We hope to catch one this year!! 
Last year he left us a note and some M&M's and green smudges on our cheeks!!  


I got my original idea from a Family Fun magazine.
You can check it out here at Family Fun Leprechaun trap

not martha has a yummy Leprechaun trap that you should check out!

Are you and your families going to set traps for St. Patricks Day in hopes of catching yourselves a Leprechaun and getting him to tell you where he has hidden his pot of gold.  
Make sure he doesn't trick you!
