"Karl, will you help Eva with her project? She needs to make a leprechaun trap."
"Okay."
Empty bottles, boxes, papers and candies that Eva had saved up?
Nope.
After he (uh, I mean they) were done Eva said, "It looks like a temple!"
Karl says I better not say it is his trap. So I won't. One day when Eva is older and she is having a day where she isn't feeling so special (because everyone has one of those days) I will remind her of the night her daddy built her the fanciest all wood, hand painted, good enough to be a temple, leprechaun trap. With a pitched roof. And a sliding trap door. And we will laugh (because that is SO Karl) and, hopefully, she will remember how special she is.
Eva made a TV and a bed for the leprechaun and used some little gold colored candies to lure the little guy in. I didn't get picture but she also made a teeny tiny remote.
Any leprechaun would be a fool to pass this high quality furnished suite up.

I wanna be a leprechaun. . .
That's hilarious and amazing - I barely ever get a chance to use those two words in the same sentence!
I continue to be amazed whenever I read your blog!!!!
How adorable! Your family seems to always be in the middle of some major project. This is sure to catch any lucky leprechaun!
this IS amazing. i can tell you what i would have done...a shoe box.
but this inspires me to want to do better than be a shoebox mom. i want to be a handpainted, pitched roof parent, like karl.
Wow. Way to go Eva and Karl. That is so awesome.
Freya made a building out of those magnatiles the other day. She told me it was a temple. Sure enough, it was.
I have been trying to remember all week information about St. Patricks day. Such as why we do it and what we should do to celebrate it. I basically came up with nothing and didn't even remember to tell me children to wear green. Thanks for giving me a reality check on leprechaun traps. How could I have forgotten?
Your kids have some serious creative DNA flowing in their veins.
