School Project

Katie has a school project where she had to design and build a Leprechaun trap. I told her that sounded like a good project for her and daddy to work....he is the engineer in the family. Katie showed Chris what she wanted to do and then he helped her tweek it a little.

He let Katie spray paint the box gold....daddy was fixing it so the lid would stay on.
 Katie was so excited to build this with him....she talked about it all week.
 Bree couldn't be left out...she said she had her own project to do...she sat in the yard and painted too. :)
 The finished trap....you see the little pot of gold in there. Katie and Chris found this on Saturday when they went to the flea market. It was PERFECT and it was what was needed to help lure that little Leprechaun into her trap. Once he is in there and tries to run with the gold (that is attached to string) it will pull the box lid down on top of him.
Katie said she wanted to put some food in there so when she traps him... so he won't starve. :) She is always thinking. One project down and this is just the first of many to come I am sure. Thankful Chris enjoys doing them because I am not a builder. I think the first one they did turned out great!.
