The next clue that we had a visitor was in the bathroom. Someone green used the toilets and forgot to flush-YIKES!
In the kitchen we found that they had gone through our sugar stash and pulled out all of the green candies.
And that wasn't all. Our cream cheese was green and so was our milk.
The kids were determined to catch them in the act. They set up traps with Lucky Charms and light sticks and hunted most of the morning.
The most exciting time came when we trapped them in the cupboard. Bailey put a few Lucky Charms on one of the shelves and a few minutes later they were missing!
We HAD to empty each shelf to find out where they were hiding (Yes, parents out there- every activity has a purpose). Once the shelves were clean and tidy we locked up the cupboard. We never did catch the sneaky Leprechauns (or as Buddy says 'neaky yeprechauns') but they left behind a pot of gold and more footprints on their way out the door. Maybe next year!

I was really hoping to see a picture of green pee in the toilet. Oh well, maybe next year.
We set out TWO incredibly creative and (we thought) foolproof traps. No luck catching any sneaky leprechauns here either. They knocked over the traps, left us green candy and wrote notes to us. Our leprechaun even called to say "better luck next year!" We're already designing new traps.

I'm definitely going to incorporate "organizing the pantry" into our search next year. Our leprechaun merely made a green mess at our house! I wonder what Tate is thinking about all this green foolishness! Love it!
