Dangerous Boy & Daring Girl

Maisie has a true partner in crime and his name is Baze.  She's known him her whole life.  They dig for bugs together, search for "Bloody Mary", paint, play and run around like crazies.   Baze is her best bud.
For Christmas she was insistent that we get "The Dangerous Book for Boys" for him.  She as the "Daring Book for Girls"... so here they read together... then an idea is formed... "Let's go dig for bombs?"  WHAT ??  I told them that it was highly unlikely that there was a bomb in our back yard... but that didn't stop them from finding the shovels and rakes and getting down to business.  What ensued was lots of laughter, water, muddy clothes, cold and shivering children... and one beautiful hole.., minus the bomb.

Best Buds

Digging a hole

My daughter had the time of her life with her best bud Baze.  It will be their last adventure for a while.  Baze is moving with his mom to NYC and won't be back home until the summer.  I don't think the reality has really hit Maisie.  And if it has, she knows that every time he open up "The Dangerous Book for Boys"... her pal will be thinking of her.  We'll miss you Baze !!
