Wanted: Dead or Alive

Gage and Luke are always "up" to something and they seem to get each other like no one else.  Over a year ago they began to work on Wanted Posters.  These posters hang on the wall in their bedroom and for a long time I thought they were eyesore to be honest.  To hear these boys talk about the characters on these posters is like listening to them talk about an old friend.  I marveled at their creativity of their names and how each character looked different. 

Well, fast forward about 8 months and as we were leaving church one day I heard Gage whisper to Luke, "Look!  There goes Lightening Woman."  The name Lightening Woman tickled at the back of my brain....where had I heard it before?  OH!  I know on one of their wanted posters.   Sure enough when we got home I was informed that many of the wanted people were actual people.  Here are the highlights...





First I present Victor.  It turns out this is Tim.  Check out the whiskers and uni-Brow.  For 3 Million I might turn him myself. 




Next we have Icwanda (pronounced Ick Wanda)  This is Claire's evil alter ego.  Apparently when Claire jumps on the tramp she gets bossy with the boys and her hair gets static-y and sticks up.  It is then that she becomes Icwanda.  Last week I took the kids to a Fall Festival and Claire was jumping in a bouncy house and her hair did it's thing.  Gage yelled through the mesh, "Hey Claire you look like Icwanda!"  I laugh just thinking about it.      





Meet Shriek spelled Shreik.  The story on her is that she is a Down Syndrome woman that goes to our ward.  She loves to scare the kids and she turns out the lights in the hall right in front of the Primary Room every Sunday.  She used to really frighten Luke but once they put her on the wall he is no longer afraid. 




And last but certainly not least is the biggest mystery of them all....Lightening Woman (again spelled wrong on the poster)  All I know is we attend church with her but the boys will not tell me who she is.  It is a burning question for me every time we go to church.
