Happy St. Patrick's Day

This is our first year doing something for St. Patrick's Day. I made her this treasure chest, 
 and filled it with gold coins, diamonds, and gold pieces. Kaylee woke up to find that the leprechaun put all her stuffed animals in the loft and had left a clue. 
 The clue reads: 

There once was a girl who I knew, she looked a little like you! She got out of bed, "Good Morning", she said, then found something new in her shoe.

Her shoes are down stairs so she runs down, opens the door, and finds: 

Inside of that shoe was a clue written from me to you! "To find lots of gold before catching a cold go put on a glove or two".
 The something new was a green flower hair clip, not the clover clip you see in this picture.

And back upstairs we go to find her gloves. 
 Looking inside her gloves she finds 2 gold pieces and another clue: 

My treasure is oh so great, so hurry and do not wait! I dress only in green and never am seen, I'm hiding under a plate.

You found me at last, hooray! Thank you for coming to play. I'm Leprechaun Pete, I've brought you a treat. Have a happy St. Patrick's Day!



Later she found another trick Leprechaun Pete left, 
green toilet water! She was hesitant to use the toilet.

I told her that Leprechaun Pete must not have been able to carry all his treasure so he left some here. She was already questioning how I knew where everything was. I basically ignored the statement and busied myself with preparing breakfast and her lunch. I wonder how I'll pull off these tricks next year. 

She took her treasure box to school. She is going to share one piece of treasure with each of her classmates and then say the rest has to go into her savings account.
