ohhh it's a ghost

I have a basket obsession. One of the many tools I use to organize our house. Well I've decluttered so much that now I have extra baskets. I've run out of ways to use them here, but we're moving soon so I'm keeping them. Wes put them to a pretty good use the other day and it made me giggle.

Wes and Zach both have this thing where they put small blankets and sheets over their bodies and then walk around making "aooohhh" noises as they bump in to stuff. When you see them, you're supposed to shreek and say "oh no a ghost." Then they giggle wildly, take the sheet off and say "It's me Zachary/Wesley." Wes discovered that the baskets make really good ghosty costumes for him. The baskets go down to around his middle and he has a jolly good time with it all.

Of course that means that I am constantly having to fake shreek for them to have any fun, but if it keeps them happy then I suppose I'm willing enough. Now though Wes doesn't say he's Wesley anymore. When he scares you he now says "Hey mommy. It's me. Zachee." Guess he's still just a little confused.

He got in an arguement with Cody last night insisting that he was Zachee. Although it is deja vu with them sometimes, um no kiddo. He was so upset when Cody kept saying that Wes was Wessee so we finally just said "Ya. you're Zachee." "Yup. I Zachee." was all we got in return and he went off to play ghost some more. Thankfully Zach thinks it's cool that Wes wants to do everything just like him, I can only pray then he still thinks it's cool a couple years from now.
