shamrock castle


for the second time around in our house, we received the lovely task of constructing a leprechaun trap for st. patrick's day...for school. unfortunately, the one austin made (about five years ago) didn't fair well enough to turn in again. dang. now how is one to catch a tiny little green man anyway? our idea was a house, with all but one window covered, sparkly green stuff, rainbows, the whole sha-bang! leading to the window, was a tiny ladder...which would then cause a big fall, into a pit of lucky charms cereal. we had fun designing, spray painting, and gluing the castle...and i, in particular will have fun carefully storing it, so that hampton can turn it in when SHE gets the assignment, in hmmm, five years!
