Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The Kindergarten classes at Audrey's school were asked to make leprechaun traps for St. Patrick's Day. She could build it any way she wanted, she just had to be able to set it up on the 16th at school. We were also reminded that a leprechaun's favorite color is green and they LOVE gold! So here's what we came up with....

The trap bottom is covered in "gold"(tissue paper) and we have our pot of "gold"(Mardi Gras beads) inside. The trap is held up by a dowel so when the leprechaun tries to get the gold, it will be knocked over and he will be trapped inside our green basket.

Audrey drew a rainbow and some four leaf clovers to decorate the top and also added some gold glitter glue.

Daddy helped her with this project. I started with a different idea but it wasn't working out so well, so Daddy stepped in and helped her engineer everything. I quickly let him know that he had just earned the privilege of now being the go to person for all projects that come our way in the future.

Audrey set her trap under the teacher's desk at school. Hopefully she got one!

On another note, 11 years ago today, Jay and I had our first unofficial date. Jay, thanks for going to the effort of tracking me down just so you wouldn't have to eat dinner alone and being smooth enough to make it look like a recruiting function. Only you, Babe, only you....It's one of the many reasons I love you. (heart)

To all the rest of you, have a great St. Patrick's Day and don't forget to wear your green!
