Foiled Again!

This is the second year Nathan has built a trap to try and catch a Leprechaun. It may be the last. He puts alot of thought into how it will work, what he can use as bait to lure one to the trap and carefully sets up his plan. The first time, he was super lucky and managed to trap the sneaky little guy's hat. This time, he received a note that read, "Nice try, but you can't catch me!"
Oh boy! He read the note and was livid. He stomped into the house yelling, "He's mean!" I can't believe how angry he got.
It took him quite a while to stop the pouting and realize that if it was an easy thing to catch a Leprechaun, everyone would have one and it wouldn't be any fun trying to catch one. His mood lightened enough to take the trap to school and show his friends what he made.
We didn't get through the day untouched though. The leprechaun managed to play a little trick on us before he escaped. We woke up to green water coming out of our faucets and in our toilet. (I'll spare you the toilet picture)

The picture of him sulking is priceless! Those pesky leprechauns. Sometimes they leave green rice crispy treats on your doorstep.
