All day, people have slowed down as they walked past our door. I've actually seen them. They lean a bit, squint, try to figure out what in the world is on the sign that has been taped to the door. What it says is "Kayla Peter Pan Tinker Bell." No spaces, just one long stream of letters. Can you make it out? I don't know why it's there, just that it is.
Kayla has continued with this Peter Pan story line for a while now. She and Peter are still 18 year-old twins who are the only ones in charge of the Lost Boys. Kayla herself is in charge of Tinker Bell. She can fly and often needs to wear green so she and "P" as she calls him are dressed the same. The funny thing is, she can go on and on about their adventures. How they tricked Captain Hook or how they went to see Wendy, Michael, and John. I love it when she does the voice of the Captain.
The other funny thing is that P can show up anytime. We were reading on the couch one evening and all of the sudden, Kayla says, "Mom, P and T are here. They're invisible to you but I see them, right there where those spots on the ceiling are."
Hmm. What's next?
Brian's been reading a good bit of Wendell Berry lately. I have not, though, and neither of course has Kayla. Which might be why she picked up this book and said in pure shock, "MOM! Dad is reading a book about a CHICKEN with NO feathers and it's hanging upside DOWN!"
The latest note that came flying down the stairs. This one came during the day when the kids were supposed to be cleaning their rooms.

Kayla had her first soccer game Friday night! She was pretty excited. Kindergarten soccer is actually organized chaos. There is a field full of 26 teams of kindergartners and running around, practicing for a half-hour then playing a game for the next half-hour. The team chose to call themselves the Bluebirds, which is great for Kayla since we often call her Kayla-Bird or just Birdie.
