The Trap is Set...

You may remember this from last year. And this. And this.
I assure you, Chloe did not forget. On March 1, she reminded me that this was Leprechaun month and we needed to get started on the trap.

I held her off for several days, but Sunday was a beautiful Spring day and she was itching to create something outside. Enter 4 hours of planning and creating.

Something about her creative process is quite contagious...

everyone wants to join in.

The rainbow, the pot of gold, the sink, the couch, the blanket, the pillow...

All her ideas.

As with all of her art projects, they are always a work in progress.

Since this picture was taken, a trail with signs made of leaves, a felt hammock strung by dental floss, and a swimming pool have been added.

The entire family did a scan of the premises this evening after dinner...

Tip-toeing and whispering were mandatory.

We think we saw footprints, and Sammy seemed to be tracking a scent.

We are onto him. (or her, respectively.)
