With St Patrick's Day coming up there is a lot of talk of leprechauns, pots of gold, green stuff etc. Today at school, the leprechauns stole all the kids shoes out of the hallway. Then, later on, he locked all the classroom doors and the teachers had to find a key to get out! Needless to say, these troublesome folk MUST be stopped. As soon as they got home from school, they began working on some leprechaun traps for here at home. They've got a plan! They're going to catch one & get his pot of gold.
After supper we went out into the neighbourhood and hoped for a sighting. We searched high & low. In between their scanning for green stuff, they picked up garbage! Finally, we found a clue! Something green caught their eye!
They gathered around to investigate the evidence and up on closer inspection, it turned out to be litter.
We checked most of our area and although there were many false alarms, we didn't end up with any real leads.
It's very lucky that we have 3 sets of binoculars as this enabled constant scanning during the entire walk. Whenever they spotted garbage to pick up or traces of leprechaun, they would immediately holler "BING! BING! BING!!!!" and the other two would come running to help examine the sample.
There were a lot of green bits to examine and with their commitment to thoroughness, nothing was left behind. It all got a good going over!
Then, when we were most of the way back, Sweetie got a lucky break when she spotted a metal rim sticking out of the snowbank. "BING! BING!! BING!!!" brought the other 2 to her side in a hurry. What else could it be but the hidden pot of gold????
Unfortunately this exciting development didn't pan out. He'd hidden the pot but taken the gold with him. THIS guy is good. Sneaky & clever fellow and these girls have met their match. Unfortunately for him, we've got a secret weapon. Mr. Murphy is very talented at sniffing out leprechauns and their gold. Murphy stopped at one point and stared off across the field, surely witnessing a little green man running for his life. They fixed their binoculars on the horizon but he got away just in time I guess!
Then, as Murphy walked over this spot, they heard a telltale sound! The clink of gold coins was clearly heard. This is why Murphy stopped here! The gold is buried right here!
After much digging and scraping, nothing was discovered and we had to call off the search due to bedtime!
Stay tuned for more leprechaun hunting, there are still a couple days left!!!
