Leprechaun Traps and Weekend Fun!

So I'm a few days late in posting our weekend fun. This momma has had a fever and sore throat for a couple days. I never get sick! And I can't remember the last time I had a fever! I'm on the mend so it's almost back to business as usual!

LOB's first school project was to make a Leprechaun Trap. You say, huh, what the heck is a Leprechaun Trap? Me too! So we googled it and found 100's of pictures of leprechaun traps! Grandpa and Papa were in charge of the structure help and I was in charge of the decoration help. We were informed on the directions that leprechauns are very mischievous and greedy fellows. They also are attracted to shiny and glittery things. So voila! Here's the making of a leprechaun trap-Now don't be stealing our idea for your own!


Here you see a couple of very serious architects!




Of course The Middle Brother couldn't be left of out the fun, so he made himself his own trap!


Painting an orange strainer black.


The finished product!


Let's say you are a leprechaun. You run up to the pot of gold (aka a witch's cauldron found in the Halloween decorations box), you snatch out the top coin and WAP! BOOM! BANG! You are trapped! Bwahhahahaha!


Here's Grammy and The Boys jumping on the tramp! Hil.ar.i.ous.!


DVB had his first experience in the sand box. I was trying to get a pic of the boys and then along comes Toni and since she thinks she's one of them, she had to be included in the picture!










Finally! If only DVB was looking at the camera! It's virtually impossible to get a picture of all four of them looking at me at the same time but I'll accept this one!


And here's some wrestling fun! The boys beg GOB to wrestle. It's sometimes a supper time bribe. "If you eat all your supper, you can wrestle with Papa!" gobble, gobble, gobble goes the food! Even The Littlest Brother partakes! They LOVE it!
