MacGyver would be so proud.




They say that necessity is the mother of inventions. My son would tell you that it’s really sisters. Cody has been trying to keep his little sister out of his stuff since she started walking. Robyn seems to believe that what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine because what’s yours is probably much more interesting than what’s mine.

Tired of her messing with his stuff and either breaking it or loosing it coupled with his parent’s inability to put an end to this by either punishing her severely or selling her to gypsies, he was finally forced to take matters into his own hands. This is the results.

I know it looks like a terrorist devise but what it really is a bugler alarm. You attach a trip wire to the clothespins and stretch them across a doorway any one who crosses the door way will trip the alarm. So far, he has caught his sister about 5 times. He got me once but I am more careful now. He has even been known to set up fake trip wires just to mess with her head. It’s gotten to the point where she is afraid to go down the hall toward his room for fear the alarm will go off.

It is amazing what this kid can do when he puts his mind to it. I just wish I could get him to focus all that energy on his chores.
