Last year we started a tradition where we made a comfy leprechaun bed in case one of the little guys needed a place to sleep while he spread St. Patrick's Day cheer. Daddy explained to Molly that Leprechauns are tricky little guys who are really sneaky because they don't want anyone to steal their pot of gold. We warned Molly that she probably wouldn't get a chance to see the Leprechaun because they are so sly. Last year, as thanks for the comfy place to sleep, the Leprechaun left Molly some Irish treats and a few gold coins, but of course he also played a trick on her by tying the laces together on all of her shoes!
Last night we laid out the same comfy little bed and pillow from last year and a shamrock picture Molly made. But this morning, she was almost in tears when she woke up, because she saw that no treats had been left for her. Once she looked closely at the little bed, she saw that she had been left a note and a picture of the kitchen in her playroom...
As we followed the first clue downstairs Molly commented "The Leprechaun must have a tiny little green camera!"
After discovering nearly 25 clues, Molly finally found her treasure... some gold candies and craft beads, shamrock tattoos and her favorite treat - the Leapster Star Wars reading game (which will come in very handy on our flight to California next month! Thanks Leprechaun!)

Once again, the little guy made a mess of Molly's shoes by buckling them all together:
After the treasure hunt Molly enjoyed a piping hot bowl of green cream of wheat with raisins!

I so love this idea! Wish I'd thought of it myself. Can I send Ainsley and Addison to your house for a few years to get all these cool traditions? :)
You are a clever little girl, too! Molly is a lucky lady. Love this idea!
