The Signs are Everywhere!

Sorry it's been so long. Life happens.

So, recently our Xbox 360 tanked and left us with all this spare time to....oh, I don't know....use our brains and play! The kids have fantastic imaginations. It reminds me of when all 6 of us use to make ridiculous "music videos", build forts, or just wrestle until someone got hurt. (Usually Will, at the hands of Pete dangling a ginormous loogie over his face, swooping it back into his mouth only to let it drop millimeters from Will's face again. I'm so looking forward to the day Ethan learns how to torture his siblings with swinging loogies and dog CPR.)

Which brings us to our post today: Signs.

The kids love the movie "Night at the Museum", so they created a museum of dinosaurs and antiques (toys, of course) for me to walk through. Here are the signs I was told to read before entering the museum.

This one from Nathan reads: CALM PEOPLE ONLY. Even you Ethan. You can only enter if you are calm.

This one from Kate says: Thank you for visiting the museum. And thank you for being nice to our sculptures. From Katelyn and Nathan. And no touchy touchy the stuff.


And then Nate says: No Pretend Hobos allowed at the museum. (I know huh? His obsession with the Hobo thing!)


My trip through the hobo-less, calm museum was quite nice. I saw dinosaurs I thought had been lost for centuries (or at least a few months since last I tripped over them on the floor.)

And then, the mother of all signs. Nathan loves to write. (My boy!). He wrote this to Darrick after Darrick was in his accident. For those who can't quite make it out, it says:

Dear Dad,
I almost thought you died in that car accident in Idaho Streets. But did shuttle come? Is it yes or no, circle one of them. (Nathan circled YES for him). Yeah, you didn't die, that was a close one.

I'm not sure which brother was scratched out of the picture, but I think it may be Alex. Alex likes to torture Nathan A LOT. :-)
