That sneaky leprechaun was around again yesterday and he had lots of tricks up his sleeve! All week long, anything that's been amiss, anything that didn't look quite the way they remembered it, was blamed on the leprechauns.
After checking their traps daily and finding nothing, their diligence was rewarded yesterday, well,
sortof! The two traps had been reconfigured into one trap and the leprechaun took all their money! When they examined the trap more closely and opened the containers that had previously held their pennies, they found one leprechaun gold coin in each of the 3 compartments. They were AMAZED! Sweetie said "I wasn't really sure about leprechauns but NOW I KNOW they're real!!!!!!!!!!!"
They were thrilled with their coins and checked them out thoroughly.
Then we spotted something strange on the mailbox and ran out to get a better look at that. The leprechaun left three shamrock headbands and tattoos! More concrete evidence!
I suggested that the leprechauns might have left other clues in the area and after lunch we decided to do some more investigating.
Although the Kraft Dinner came out of the box looking normal, somewhere along the line, one of those sneaky little guys put something in the pot and we had Shamrock noodles for lunch!
As soon as they ate lunch they were ready to hunt down more clues and we headed down the road. We didn't get out of the yard before Sweetie snagged the first item. A leprechaun hat!!!
Just a short distance from the hat, a twinkling in the dirt caught our eye! We found a big shiny shamrock on the side of the road. We were definitely headed in the right direction!!!!
Along the way we decided reinforcements were needed. When Penny opened the door, the girls burst into explanations of the adventure they were on. They were so loud, thorough and
exuberant that Penny couldn't understand a thing they were saying.
Tulip joined in on the action and started finding clues right away!
We travelled to the farm and back and they filled their clue bag with the items. At the end, we brought them back to our house so they could divide everything up fairly.
Murphy managed to get his own clue although he didn't seem nearly as excited as those girls were!
The leprechaun was never found but I heard she was very tired at the end of the day yesterday! :)))

That has got to be one busy leprechaun.
I wouldn't be surprised if she had an assistant.
Nice to see the girl's having so much fun.
