That Boy

What has the boy been up to? So much. In fact I contemplated keeping him home from school today just so I could observe him.

Hmm, school . . . he would be gone about 6 hours . . . not only would he be gone but they would attempt to teach him something. Oh . . . he's totally going to school, however entertaining he may be.

This weekend he started a store. Well not so much a store but, as he titled it, "A Place Where You Can Borrow Guns."

He isn't prepared to sell any of his weapons, but is happy to let you borrow them. Keep in mind he does require a deposit, but it will be refunded in full once the item has been returned. I found this out when I tried to borrow a lovely green little number, but sadly I left my wallet upstairs.

How do you keep a child like this busy at a restaurant? Let him borrow the digital camera (I am full of helpful parenting tips). Just watch the fingers. His pictures kept getting blurrier because he kept touching the lens.

When we recently went to a restaurant with family I let the boy take over picture taking duties. I won't be posting all of them, he took over 100. But I will be posting some of my favorite.

First we have Auntie Carol's wheel chair wheels. All four of them.

Next we have various food pictures.

Of course he took pictures of people. First we have Davis looking at a chip cross eyed. Then Crystal, then uncle Paul, and the very polite and very patient waiter.

How else could I end but with (my personal favorite) a self portrait of the artist.

Man that kids got big eyes!

How many guns does the boy have? And who has been breaking the "no guns for Christmas" house rule.

Well first it was the pirate outfit that came with a sword and gun. Then came the first Nerf gun. But how can all the kids and dad play together unless they all have their own Nerf gun . . . pretty soon the "no guns" thing just seems ridiculous.

Great photos. I really like the self portrait.

Does he do weddings, birthdays, baptisms, or anniversaries?

WOW! A gun dealer huh? You must be a very proud Mom. I hope he asks for picture ID and does some kind of background check even for a rental. Brigham cracks me up. What a character.
