Bamboozled

Last week, Emile went down to San Francisco to attend one of Bamboo Bike Studio's bike building workshops. Look what he made!

He has definitely caught the bike building bug and has spent some quality time testing his highly scientific, sophisticated design innovations. Why, just this morning, I found this on the table:

Since he flew down for the workshop, he had to ship the bike home. You can imagine that those two bike-less days were quite tortuous.

This morning, the bike arrived! And guess what! It came in a Very Large Box! I bet you can guess what Larkin and Finn were most excited about. Here, they are both inside said box:

They asked us to tape up the lid to seal them in as they played games. As I walked by, I heard this exchange:

Finn: I spy with my little eye, something that is... black.
Larkin: Uh... the whole box?

Braaaaaaiiiins!

Totally without warning, my (previously noted, rather inept) treatment of the religious significance of holidays has come back to us. Once again, the best conversations happen in the car.

Finn: Easter is when some people believe Jesus came back to life after being persecuted to death, right?
Me (barely concealing a snort over "persecuted to death"): Right.
Finn: So... god's son is... a zombie?!
