This particular day I think was taking advantage of the quiet(ish) time to do a little work. Then suddenly they popped out into the living room.
They were disguised as "weird guys". Max had redone both of their hair to look different than usual. He was dressed up as a sporty guy and Sandy was just a weird guy in Kris's nice sweater and his headlamp. (Or was he supposed to be Kris? Now suddenly I can't remember...)
They were pretty pleased with themselves, and of course I had to pretend not to recognize them.
Then they left again and a few minutes later reappeared as even different folks.
Look, it's Kris and Ginna!
The shirt of mine that Sandy is wearing is doing double duty as a Ginna shirt and dress for him--he kept spinning around to make it flare out.
They thought they were pretty funny, and truly, they were.
Silly silly boys.
And yes, I found my shirt all wadded up in a ball in the back of my closet later--along with all the other clothes they pulled down and decided not to use.
Oh well.

As true a portrait as I have ever seen drawn, down to the wadded up clothes. Some day they will know what it means to be a grown-up and won't that be a sad time. But then, come to think of it, there's only one real grown-up in that house, and it's not the tall one. Every chapter of the Peter Pan club needs a Wendy, I guess. You have gravitas, my dear - you always did. But then, I can remember you in my heels and Great Grandma Randle's dress, so maybe that weary but resigned tone at the end suggests a pretty deep understanding -
And you did a great job capturing the moment on film!
Oh my goodness, Sandy in Kris's sweater is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.
