St. Patrick's Day 2013

                  St. Patrick's Day 2013

Every St. Patrick's Day Ivy gets a little nervous. She's a bit afraid of the wee little leprechauns. So.. we set traps for them in the house. We leave a tiny pot of gold under a box in hopes that we may be lucky enough to catch the little guys. Morning came and we invited Maelie over to check the traps with us. The girls and I headed downstairs and into the dining room to take a peek. (Don't mind the mess..or lack there of - we just moved in!) Maelie and I made it into the dining room. Ivy stayed back and peeked around the corner. She was so nervous.. and low and behold..

We caught one! 

Making my wish

Maelie makes a wish

Ivy makes a wish

After talking to the little guy he walked towards me and told me that he would grant me one wish. I bent down and whispered something to the little leprechaun. He then walked towards Maelie and told her the same thing. (She was a little scared of him) She was brave and bent down and told him her wish. Now, it was Ivy's turn. We had to convince her some that he would not hurt her. She was very scared of this little man She thought for sure he was going to steal from her or hurt her in some way. After we all made our wishes the little leprechaun ran off into the yard.. maybe we'll see him next year...
