You Don't Always Need a Rainbow for a Pot of Gold

Our Leprechaun came back this year and he was up to his old tricks. Most of his messages were in code and June jumped on that and even made up her own codes for Seamus to decipher. The majority of his letters were just reminding us that he wanted gold and how much he desired. (Broken record if you ask me.)

But we did give him plenty of gold. And we wished on our gold pieces as tradition demands.

Pearl's gold coin stuck to her head for quite a while. She didn't let it get in the way of counting the coins for our Leprechaun.

Seamus was good to his word and he left us trinkets in return for his treasure. We got nail polish, soap (Irish Spring—cheesy Seamus—or do you really use that kind?), chapstick, and a bandanna. My favorite were the glittery shamrocks he left on the wall. Very festive.

Seamus McDermott,

You certainly are a clever little Leprechaun. We promise to keep giving you gold if you keep the luck flowing at our house. Until next year...
