Those silly leprechauns...

Glenn's homework this week was to build a leprechaun trap. But he came home sick from school yesterday, so I knew he wasn't going to be able to bring his trap to school today to catch leprechauns. So, we put the trap out at home. It has Lucky Charms glued to the ladder and leads up to the top with a golden pot filled with Lucky Charms. But the plan was before the leprechaun got to the pot, it would fall through a trap door. We even made a little toilet for it (at Glenn's request). But he left Glenn a note saying that he'd have to work harder than that to trap him.



He made quite a mess.


All the cabinet doors were open. He found what he was looking for. He found our box of Lucky Charms and left a trail all over the house, to the bathroom (where he used the toilet, the water was green). And he dropped shiny coins all over the kitchen, which the boys loved collecting. They were quite a team.



And here's a picture from last week of Bob and Alexander fishing:


In other news, Bob had jury duty for the first time in his life, and he got put on the jury for a 2 1/2 week trial. They went through three days of jury selection and the trial started today. I feel bad for him because after being in court all day, he has to work in the evenings. But it will be interesting for him to be part of the jury.
