I do believe it was two years ago on St. Paddys day that we set our first trap to catch the Leprechaun. He was too sneaky for us, but he did put the fear of the Leprechaun in Ava. Especially since his magic powder turned Grandma's feet green!!!This Thursday as I was bringing them 'home' for the weekend Ava asked me what the Leprechaun was going to bring us. I informed her I told him not to come to Grandma's house as she was so afraid of him. She informed me she was no longer afraid of the lil guy. We discussed traps we could set for the next 10 miles or so. After dinner we put out our trap. A box that held oranges was perfect. A wooden spoon to hold it up. A towel to cover up the holes. And a chocolate in the box to entice the Leprechaun. All was set. Bedtime. Max and Ava heard noises. They ended up in bed with Grandpa. Not afraid? Yeah, right. Once again we did not catch Larry the Leprechaun, but he did leave us a note and lots of gold, Rolo gold to be exact, hidden all over the living area. But the best of the story is yet to come. Stay tuned for post 2 tomorrow with Paul Harvey (okay, Grandma Bassett) and the best of the story!
