No Girls

We read a lot of books at our house -- the boys always pick out books for me to read during lunch -- and at dinner if Matthew is at work. That doesn't include reading together on the couch. We go through a lot of books in one day!

Sam and Zak love "Frances" books -- Bread and Jam for Frances, Bedtime for Frances, A Bargain for Frances...and the list goes on. The boys decided they wanted to have a "wandering day", just like in one of the Frances book. So, they made their special signs, just like Frances...I packed them a "hamper" of food, just like Frances...and then they headed out. They had a great time wandering through the house with their signs, eating their picnic and having sack races in the family room!

The signs have made an appearance every day since then. There was a parade, they are placed in front of doorways -- they are getting a lot of use.

Curious?

Here are the boys playing with their trains.

They had it routed under one
of the chairs -- Zak especially liked that one!

After I helped them tweak a few
things...this was the sign they put out.

Best Friends Outing. No Girls.

They take down the signs when they want food.

Silly boys!
