Leprechauns Beware


James has designed and built the most astonishing Leprechaun trap. I'm not sure what will ultimately lure the little gold-seeking scavangers:
  • the house built out of Lucky Charms?
  • the TWO rainbows carefully arched over the glitter walk way?
  • the gold coins hanging from the ceiling?
  • all of the green paint and green felt?
  • perhaps the "Leprecauns Welcome (sic)" sign?
  • or maybe the miniature Liberty Bell he sculpted and shaped (because it is made out of gold)?

I'm personally thinking the Liberty Bell will be the biggest draw. But whatever brings those Leprechauns, they better watch out. Because inside this glittering house is a jail cell, cleverly disguised as an "elevator to the gold."

Tayen would think this was the coolest thing ever! We may just have to come by and see this magnificent creation in person. I love that he is trying to 'trap' the leprechaun. What will he do with it once he's got it?

James is after my heart. I have been obsessed for years with finding leprechauns. Please tell me if he catches any, and if he does, please ask the leprechauns to stop changing the marquis signs at gas stations to higher prices. I KNOW they are the ones who do it.

I don't know where to begin...the genius of this leprechaun trap rocks my world! Those leprechauns are so sneaky and naughty, but I daresay sweet James has created a way to outsmart them! Do let us know if he gets one!

What a wonderfully inventive son. I just love how creative he is. Wouldn't it be fun to climb inside of his brain and watch all those thoughts for a day. Love you guys.

If I were a leprechaun, i'd be trapped! That is the most inticing leprechaun trap i've ever seen! Come to think of it...are you sure it's just for leprechuans? I really want to ride the elevator to the gold...and I know it's a trap!

I just love how James's mind works...I mean the Liberty Bell? I wish he would let me into all of his thoughts, cause I'd be in a different and amazing world. Love that Boy Soooooo Much.

Oh my funny! That seriously made my entire day...possibly my entire week. So clever! Details, details, details! Those leprechauns stand NO CHANCE!

I know this may sound strange, but I found your blog through my sister who linked to her friend, who linked to you. I promise, I'm not a crazy person! I just wanted you to know that as I read through some of your posts, I was inspired. TOTALLY inspired. You write so well and articulate things that I'm thinking! I appreciate your time and thoughts. Thanks for letting me visit. - amy

This gave me the biggest case of the giggles. INGENIOUS! Tell him he should build a tooth fairy trap, then he could really make a haul.
