The night before Saint Patrick's day Jasmine created a Leprechaun trap. This is a tradition Nana started with Jasmine years ago. Last year there was no leprechaun trap, which Jasmine was sad about, so she made a trap this year. It is basically a piece of tupperware held up by a stick(marker). It has a sign on it that says Leprechaun, Keep Out. This would be hard for any respectable leprechaun to do however, since it was baited with small gold coins (holes punched from yellow paper with hole punchers), blueish green 'glitter' (dyed salt), and small erasers. There was also a small pencil with a loop attached, which is supposed to catch on the leprechaun's leg if he steps into the loop. Here is a pic of the trap. It's not too clear, but you get the picture.
Here is the situation we observed the next morning. The leprechaun had left $5 in the trap, then apparently tripped on the loop, falling and dropping all of his booty. He also left footprints:
On a more serious note, Saint Patrick's day is a very nice day to reflect on not only history, but how to share the love of our Lord and Savior. Here are two articles that may help:
