Hijinks

So...the leprechaun got away. The kids were very sad. Apparently he "chewed" his way through the box (we know this because he wasn't in the box, and there was a hole in it).  All the coins were gone and luckily he didn't take the fairy (to the girls surprise). Kate has been telling me how she's going to use a plastic box next time so he won't escape.

He was very mischievous.  All the cupboards were open, there was fruit randomly placed around the floor.  Luckily, leprechauns leave recompense.  In this case, chocolate gold coins. The girls were much more reconciled to the situation after discovering his largess.

Ah, yes, the coins that--as Kate informed us--he leaves EVERY place he visits. Luckily, that comment went over Maddie's head. Maddie also received a visit from a leprechaun. This one was a bit on the miserly side and did not leave chocolate coins. And even though Kate suggested Maddie look under her pillow, I'm pretty sure that didn't help.
