today, he's. . .

Indiana Jones. (or Indy Dones, according to Luke).

He loves to dress up. . . really getting into character. . .

And has been after me to sew him a suit. (Maybe you can use yarn or something.)

Instead, we went thrifting this morning (after stopping at Lowe's for some paint. . .I am finally going to tackle the living room/dining room this week), to put together an Indiana Jones suit for him.

He picked the bag he wanted (for his treasures that he finds. . .and a place to put his whip. . . which happens to be another mama inspired item: three feet of braided black yarn knotted on a found stick). . .
a cool black, snakeskin cowboyish hat (brown was the specified choice, but we couldn't pass up this cool guy)
and a suede-ish brown shirt (his suit. . . very cool, very soft. . .adult size large, so it's a little roomy). . .
and the best part? one of Indy's greatest nemesis. . .nemesi?. . . a wooden snake. . .

When we watched the first Indiana Jones this weekend (for the first time). . .we laughed and laughed when Indy said: I hate snakes!

Awesome day.

He's outside right now (in the 87 degree heat) having adventures. . . First treasures found?
Two bird feathers.

Love this age.
