St. Patrick's Day

A leprechaun, or maybe it was more than one, visited our house last night. Lured, as everyone knows they can be, by a homemade green shamrock pin, they found themselves rapped by a clever box-and-stick trap.



No doubt their penchant or mischief got them into trouble, because there was a sign in the trap that clearly said "Do Not Pull Shamrock."

Once they found themselves trapped, the leprechauns had to pay for their freedom with 7 gold coins. Before leaving the house, though, they made mischief with their favorite target: a pair of shoes.



Tonight the St. Patrick's Day celebration continues, with a batch of homemade shamrock shakes.
