Yesterday, Jonathan worked with Bekah converting a #10 can into a "Leprechaun Trap." This trap looked like a green bowler hat with a small tin foil ramp and on top of the hat was a small "pot of gold" (tinfoil nest of small silver nuggets). The "trap" part was the top covered with paper and tape was supposed to fall in and catch the leprechaun so he would be forced to leave some of his gold. Hannah got into the action before bed and scrap-booked a sheet she left next to the trap on green paper that said, "We would love some of your treasure! --The Campbell Children."
The leprechaun left them some coins ($1.43 each) and a note, "Ach-ye wee bairns...divvy it up fairly or a curse be on ye...An' don't forget wee Suzie with her curls..." and his signature shamrock mark.
I teach LLL tonight and plan on bringing a green veggie tray (sugar snap peas, celery, cucumbers, etc.) and dip.
I have made light green pistachio salad and we will have green sauced enchiladas with roman lettuce and green beans for dinner.
Rebekah made darling shamrock sugar cookies with green frosting and green sugar topping yesterday for dinner and lunches today.
Luck of the Irish be with ye!

Sounds like fun! All I do for St. Patrick's Day is buy a t-shirt or two. :)
