Ian's Plan to Catch a Leprechaun

So, for the last month Ian has been creating a plan to capture the elusive St. Patrick's Day leprechaun. He conferred with Mr. Mednick his school teacher and decided to not wear green on St. Patty's. This would hopefully lead to a leprechaun coming to pinch him and being the sneaky boy that he is Ian would grab the leprechaun and demand his pot of gold aso he could go buy a Wii.
Ian has been trying to figure out how to get a Wii since long before Christmas. Here is my weekly menu which he thought was a grocery list and if you look closely he has written"Git Ian a Wii."

Well, Ian spent his St. Patrick's Day without a bit of green apparel. He came home from school without a pot of gold, but knew he was on right track because of the little footprints a leprechaun had left across the classroom white board.

After dinner Ian went searching through the front yard and the culdesac behind the house. He found many "wrappers" which he knew were from the mischievous little man. He came home and found the water in the bathroom had turned green and knew that he was hot on the trail. At bedtime he burst into tears because he did not have the big pot of leprechaun gold. After viewing some you.tube videos that showed how fast leprechauns are he decided to call it a day.
This morning when Ian went downstairs to watch his morning cartoons he found his own pot of gold. Not enough to buy the Wii he wanted, but it made him smile for awhile.

Miles was pretty happy with the loot too.

This is Ian trying to look mischievous in the background. I will have to remember mischievous and disgusted come across the same way.

Might not buy a Wii, but it sure tastes good.

This is such a cool story! I loved it. We also had a leprechaun at our house. It put green glitter in the toilets, turned our milk green, and left the girls some gold coins (Chocolate) on their pillows. Fun stuff.
