Even though we don't do a lot for St. Patrick's Day, we have tried to start some traditions for each holiday. We have a few decorations we put up. The kids love the rainbow, which I recycled from my mom, because they get to find a pot of gold under it on St. Patrick's Day.
But to do that they have to catch a leprechaun first!
The kids made a few different traps, but only caught the leprechauns hat and some notes and footprints he left.
So I helped them build this trap. We used his hat as bait and lucky charms to lure him in.
It worked! We caught a leprechaun. Then each of the kids made a wish: Vaden wished for a pot of gold, and Asher wished for $100. On St. Patrick's Day we looked under our rainbow and the kids found their prized, though that leprechaun was pretty tricky. He gave us a pot of Chocolate Gold and $100 in monopoly money.
The kids had a great time. I also made some bags that we secretly delivered to some of our neighbors and then each of the kids got on their door knobs with something green to wear in them.
We love our holidays!
