What will they think of next

OK, so I don't have a picture of this entry, but I was just too surprised to run in a grab the camera and the "victim" REALLY didn't want his picture taken, so you'll have to use your imagination too envision it....There were 5 boys playing in the back yard. Now after 3 hours a riding on the sled the previous evening it finally broke during a great trip over the bump in the yard by our septic tank (the rider never let go of the rope so he took a short ride with nothing...pretty funny to look at). Left over there was the long rope, pieces of the sled, and a hollow aluminum pipe the "E" had found in the trash pile on the new house they are building at the end of the street. What could they do with all of these things? Well, T and I were sitting on the front porch enjoying the evening when we heard them come walking around the house. We looked up and there was "E" and a neighbor carrying the pipe on their shoulders. Between them was the smallest of the boys (not J) tied up very neatly with the long rope. They proceed to carry him down the street, yes, we told them not to walk on the pavement in case he slipped, tied up like a pig getting ready to be roasted. They carried him down to his house and tried to negotiate a selling price with his parents. I don't think they were able to agree on a price.......Thanks goodness they understand the "fun" and humor of boys!!!
