The One That Got Away

Yes, yes, I know it's almost June but the leprechauns came to our house a few months ago and the kids were ready this year. Johnny helped them set up a trap complete with gold candy and a "Yucky" Charm trail. (Zack calls them "Yucky Charms").

That morning the kids were nervous to check inside the box...

But those sneaky green folks had sprung the trap and then used the ladder from the doll bunk bed to get away! They were in such a hurry to leave that they got stuck on the blinds and wiggled out of their clothes to make their escape. They even spilled their little pots of gold.

They did leave us a few surprises like some festive pictures on our TV and some green milk in our fridge. Lila thought it was pretty hilarious that they used our bathroom and forgot to flush!

After the excitement we sat down to a nice breakfast of green clover-shaped pancakes, green eggs, and green milk with our "Yucky Charms".

Here's our very own Superman using his big muscles to carve out a shamrock...

And those crazy leprechaun shirts that got left behind mysteriously fit the kids perfectly!! Lila was really amazed!

Don't worry though. She's already made big plans to catch those little rascals again next year!
