Luck of the Irish

 Before bed the night before St. Patrick's Day, I helped Brendan set a Leprechaun trap.  He was SURE that we would catch one.  We used rainbows to get it's attention.  We used a bowl of Lucky Charms as bait.  Once the trap was set he went to bed.

When he got up Saturday morning the trap had been tripped and he thought for sure he had one.  

Upon further investigation he discovered that the sneaky little somehow escaped the trap, but left a pot of gold behind.  

We were sooo close.  Maybe next year we'll get him.
