Archaeology

The basic premise of archeology is that by studying the physical environment in which a society lives, one could get a sense of the people and culture that inhabited the area. I started to wonder what an archaeologist might think if they stumbled upon our home with no one home. I think it would become pretty clear, pretty quickly, that we have a house full of boys.

Like the Nerf darts that landed on the kitchen counter.
And the Nerf dart hanging on the curtain in the family room. And on the floor of the master bath. And embedded in the Christmas tree... Pretty much there are Nerf darts EVERYWHERE.
Speaking of cabinets, what about the Spider Man that was spotted climbing up those things.
Then there is the handcuffs hanging from the clock in the foyer.
One quick glimpse at the closets here and you would have to notice a total dearth of anything pink.
Certainly all the army guys guarding the upstairs would be an indicator that there were boys in the house.
Who knows what you might find on the decorative shelf above the foyer. Shoes? Paper airplanes? More Nerf darts? Yup, all that and more.
Yea, I don't think it would take long at all to figure out that we are a houseful of boys. And I LOVE it!
