Jesse, the Leprechaun;)

While we  stayed at Nana and Poppi's, St. Patti's Day rolled by. As I revealed a story of how Stephy tricked me into believing she had a leprechaun named Jesse living in her closet when we were little, you all listened with enchantment! I got busy and forgot to explain that it wasn't true! I walked into the living room and on the  floor  you had set up this structurally magnificent creation, a leprechaun trap:

It consisted of a shoe box, a pencil for support, and a bar of gold (paper weight) to lure him in! Pure genius, I tell you;)





That night, the two of you and Avree made a pallet in the floor in hopes of hearing Jesse. You asked me to sleep on the couch because you were just a tad nervous about that tricky little guy;)

Obviously, not too nervous!





I could not sleep because I was missing Daddy terribly. He had been gone for 2 weeks and we would not be seeing him for 2 more... it was just a hard realization for me. I tossed and turned and text Daddy a picture of your trap. I believe his exact words were, "Those sweet babies, you have got to do something for them, go catch Kirbea (NanaNette's cat), spray her green, and put her in that box." My response was, "I will not touch that demon who is in the shape of a cat's body!" But, Daddy would not let it go...he wanted you to have a little treat in the box at least. So I made up this little diddy,

"I am quiet and I'm sneaky,

no one has ever seen me,

on St. Patti's Day I come out,

to take a little peeky.

Where is my pot of gold?

The end of the rainbow, I am told.

Thanks for luring me to this box,

take a lucky shamrock!"

So, the trap fell on this treat, thanks to Daddy's request.

You guys were so pumped to wake up to the fallen trap! I love the innocent light in your eyes as you lifted the box... and how perfectly thrilled you were with Jesse's treat! My sweet girls, you are so much fun.
