Last year, a little leprechan named "Lucky" completely demolished the house, tipping over chairs, throwing toys everywhere (even messing with the Duplos!). And, the little stinker left muddy footprints all of the house and up onto the kitchen counter (where he did, however, leave tons of goodies for the kids).
This year, Ramsey has been working on a ton of Lego sets. He's been working on one in the living room (General Grievous' ship) and wasn't completed yet. Ramsey did NOT want the leprechauns to mess up his Legos (or anything else for that matter).
We decided it'd be a good idea to write a nice letter to the leprechaun this year to see if he'd be nice and not trash our place.
First: the letter. Second: the bribary (in this case, green jelly beans).
Ramsey wrote away and picked out all of the green jelly beans (eating quite a few along the way). The letter was rather succinct, but the message was clear.
Ramsey then left the letter and treat by the front door, assuming the little green guy would find it there first.
In the morning, we didn't find a huge mess in the house - just a number of Minecraft swords leading the way from the downstairs to the loot the leprechaun left.
Ramsey read the letter aloud.
We took the green bag o' surprises into the kitchen to open it up.
Ramsey was pleased to find some of his favorite goodies (Oreos and Hershey's Cookies & Cream candy bars, a KitKat, and a Hershey milk chocolate bar). In addition, Lucky left a fun box of dominos!
Rather than learning to play Dominos or setting them up and tipping them, Ramsey (the math nerd) was more interested in using the dominos as learning tools and adding as many as he could.
