I don't have pictures of our fun yesterday afternoon, so try to picture this.
The kids think Aaron can do magic. He's pretty good with pulling quarters out of their ears and such. But they hopefully will be forever amazed with his skills yesterday.
They've been playing with two "ropes" lately - just long scraps of Minky fabric leftover from a quilting project. Using them for fishing line, dog leashes, you name it.
Somehow, they've forgotten there are two of them. It all started with the first one being confiscated and put on the freezer in Aaron's office. Henry was asking for it later, and Aaron told him that it was down in Laurel's closet.
It was! Aaron didn't know, and Henry brought it up. Which meant that the second one was still on top of the freezer in his office. Thus the magic show began. Aaron would sneak it into his pocket, have the kids say "A la peanut butter sandwiches" and it would disappear. Then he'd tell them to go find it. We teamed up and hid the extra one somewhere else: the freezer, the dryer, the cookie jar, under a bicycle helmet, under Laurel's hat. It was lots of fun, and they just can't figure out how he did it. Well, Laurel's got it figured out, but she's being a good sport and playing along.
Such a fun memory.
