Business Partners

My little Johnny is visiting his grandparents for a couple of days, so I had high hopes that today would be a better day than usual. No such luck. Boy were these babies chatty! I'm pooped.

Some of my boys have found a new hobby of digging deep holes in the gravel on the playground to find clay. They take Ziploc bags outside and collect pretty large chunks of clay - for what purpose, I have no idea. Today Nathan told me all about how he and Everett are starting a business that revolves around what they might find buried in the playground: "clay, fossils, gold." As it stands, I get a cut. If they find gold, they'll give it to me, but not if they find a dinosaur fossil. Nathan will use that to make a dinosaur model that will then be put in the museum. Obviously.

Also, this happened last Friday and I liked it: 

Everett: "When I grow up I want to be a settler - that's what a lot of people call pioneers."
