This past weekend Josh and I were up in Sandy, using my dad's fancy tools to build some panels for my art. I had to make a run to Home Depot to get some materials and Logan asked if he could join me.
(This is beside the point, but I have to include why Logan would be so anxious to go to Home Depot: He bought a few long wooden dowels, which he later cut and made into wands for every member of our family....yes, you guessed it. He's reading Harry Potter. He just finished book five. Harry Potter has also incluenced his naming of our pigeons. Two of the newest birds are named Ron and Hedwig. In fact, he might be holding one of those two in the picture above. He says the next bird to be born is going to be Dolores Umbridge. Josh is so proud of him).
Anyway, I realized that I hadn't brought my wallet with me to Sandy, but Logan assured me that he could cover for me. Turns out he carries about $100 cash in his wallet. He's not your typical ten-year old. Either he's extremely frugal with his Christmas money or he's a thief. And either way it's pretty impressive. He was able to bail me out and pay my $50+ bill at Home Depot. On our drive home, however, he quietly mentioned that he would be charging me interest for the money he had leant me. When I asked what his rate of interest would be he initially said $5.00 a month. After thinking about it for a minute he decided it would actually be $5.00 a week. Smart boy.
The below picture is a sneak preview of the Fall Fashion Line of pigeon attire that Logan is currently designing. Notice the stylish red bonnet and green cape, both made of local grown materials. With his impressive design skills and his business sense, Logan is destined for success.

Ok, can I just say that Logan is one of my favorite people in the world!!!! First of all, the knowledge of interest & the maturity to charge you is just classic. And the wands is great - I just finished #4, so I'm wishing that he had made one for me too. :) Finally, that outfit on the bird has had me laughing for the past 5 minutes straight! I noticed a little green cap on the above picture as well. LOVE IT.
I didn't know your family has pigeons. I love the hat and cape Logan made. What a creative family!! I'm surprised the pigeon just posed in it for the photo! Pretty impressive!
I named my mom's cat Doby, your brother and I would get along :)
Probably one of the funniest stories! I love your little bro, he is a crack-up!!!
Oh my goodness! At 10 years old I dont think I even knew what $100 looked like! Ha ha! And can I just say I LOVE THE WAND IDEA! If you ever need to, I have an authentic one you can borrow. . . on second thought, that might not be a good idea. . .the wand chooses the wizard ya know. . ! (Oh I'm a dork.)
Oh and, my car's named Hermione. . . I think your brother and I would get along well!
1. Have you noticed that the alien on your blog has increased the velocity of its rotation?
2. "He's either very frugal or a thief. Either way, very impressive." I love it.
3. It's worth pointing out that Log's interest policy is not family-wide. I believe the rate you were charged is related to your repayment history!
C.J. and I were both laughing so hard at this story... Logan cracks me up. I think my dad would be interested in investing in the pigeon-wear.
I love that Logan carries around cash. He's hilarious.
