The eve of March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day, the kids set out
their shoes and a note for Seamus, the leprechaun (pronounced "Shay-muss"). Seamus came and visited last year on St.
Patrick’s Day, but we tried to set a trap so we could catch him. Thomas and Bri made a great trap that should have worked, but it didn’t. Apparently he wasn't amused. Instead he took our coin collection and made
a mess of the house with cereal poured out everywhere. He did leave some yummy rock candy though and
a few random green things. This year, he
brought the coin collection back. We
were relieved that Seamus found us in Africa!
Bri wrote him a note in Irish using Google translate, saying, “Can I
have my money back?” Luckily he agreed
to and left the money, with a return note that said, “No more tricks on
leprechauns”with his name signed.
He was good enough to leave some chocolate too and a fun green confetti sprinkled around the shoes. We also noticed that he ate a few of our Oreos and drank milk from Bri’s special green glass. It also looked like he made himself cozy on our couch with a green blanket reading “The Green Fairy Book.” It seems that we may have a leprechaun friend now!
